Thanks!  I folded in the following incrementals, which are mostly for
style (I updated one comment that had rotted, adjusted line lengths,
etc.).  Please do read them to make sure that you agree.  Then I applied
this to master.

Thanks for the great feedback along the way!  I agree with all of the
changes you made.

Now I'll just have to do the Neutron integration with this and that will
be another feature gap closed with the existing ovs support.
