Thanks for pointers.

My actual question is, if there is flow miss in the datapath, the packet is
punted to the user-space (vswitchd) which programs the missed flow on
datapath. Essentially, vswitchd handles the flow management for datapath.
Is there a way to dump in vswitchd those flows that got punted and gets
programmed subsequently in datapath ?

I was assuming that this mechanism was done thro' OF, hence was looking
ovs-ofctl dump. Looks like that is not the case.
