Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your comments.

In the proposed series, yes. OVS will always insert tunnel-set and 
tunnel-match rules in group 0, and in priority 0.

However, the PMD and DPDK in general are not OVS specific, and other 
applications may choose to use in other ways, so the PMD must not assume 
such assumptions.

Yes, I will add it in v3 to be sent soon.
