I applied this to master and branch-2.12.

Since you posted this patch, William pushed commit 27501802d09f
("ofproto-dpif: Expose datapath capability to ovsdb.") that exposes
datapath capabilities via OVSDB and, more importantly, documents the
meanings of each of the capabilities.  Would you mind sending a followup
patch to add documentation for this new capability?

Thanks,

Ben.
