[ovs-dev] [PATCH v5 05/12] dpif-netdev: Add function pointer for netdev input

This commit adds a function pointer to the pmd thread data structure,
giving the pmd thread flexibility in its dpif-input function choice.
This allows choosing of the implementation based on ISA capabilities
of the runtime CPU, leading to optimizations and higher performance.
