Even if the proxy arps are associated with a router port, the flows can still be
added in the logical switch pipeline of the peer to avoid the extra hop from
logical switch pipeline to router pipeline.

In my opinion,  it is better that the proxy arps are associated with a
router port
rather than a logical switch peer port.  Also having a separate column makes
more sense to me than defining a string of IP addresses in the options smap.

I defer to other reviewers if they are fine with your patch.

Thanks
