[ovs-dev] [PATCH] ovs-vsctl: Add datapath_type column to show command.

[Ilya Maximets]

Sometimes it's unclear which datapath type is in use by particular
bridge. For example, if all the interfaces supported by both system
and netdev datapaths it needs a DB query or log analysis to find out
which 'datapath_type' is in use.
Another case is that it's hard to figure out if patch ports are really
connected to each other. They are definitely not connected if datapath
types of their bridges differs.

With this change non-default 'datapath_type's will be exposed to
'ovs-vsctl show' command, so it'll be easier to spot misconfiguration.

  $ ovs-vsctl show
  ...
      Bridge "br0"
          datapath_type: netdev
          Port "br0"
              Interface "br0"
                  type: internal
  ...
