Thanks for this Ben, much appreciated, I hadn't seen that sparse was 
broken for OVS with DPDK. I was under the impression that travis builds 
with sparse enabled so typically I look there for sparse errors when 
testing patches.

However testing on my own system with sparse now I can see that it's 
failing before this patch is applied.

below looks ok to me, I'll add this to the next pull request.

Thanks
Ian

> + * rule with priority 8 in group 0.
> + *
> + * Although optional, applications are encouraged to group similar rules as
> + * much as possible to fully take advantage of hardware capabilities
> + * (e.g. optimized matching) and work around limitations (e.g. a single
> + * pattern type possibly allowed in a given group).
> + *
> + * Group and priority levels are arbitrary and up to the application, they
> + * do not need to be contiguous nor start from 0, however the maximum number
> + * varies between devices and may be affected by existing flow rules.
> + *
> + * If a packet is matched by several rules of a given group for a given
> + * priority level, the outcome is undefined. It can take any path, may be
> + * duplicated or even cause unrecoverable errors.
> + *
> + * Note that support for more than a single group and priority level is not
> + * guaranteed.
> + *
> + * Flow rules can apply to inbound and/or outbound traffic (ingress/egress).
> + *
> + * Several pattern items and actions are valid and can be used in both
> + * directions. Those valid for only one direction are described as such.
> + *
> + * At least one direction must be specified.

+ * ranges of IP addresses).

+ * carefully. For example, if for an IPv4 address field, spec provides
+ * 10.1.2.3, last provides 10.3.4.5 and mask provides 255.255.0.0, the
