> This series is a continuation of other patch series initiated by Jan Scheurich

> before. These were already applied to the master branch:

>  - userspace: Support for L3 tunneling

>    https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-June/333387.html

>  - Packet type aware pipeline

>    https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-June/334512.html

> 

> The main purpose of this series is to add support for the OpenFlow actions

> generic encap and decap (ONF EXT-382) to the OVS control plane. It implements

> a skeleton for translation of generic encap and decap actions in ofproto-dpif

> and provides support to encap and decap an Ethernet header.

> 

> v1->v2

>  - Squash 1/4 and 2/4 commits of v1.

>  - Put unit tests in a separate commit.

>  - Use aligned cast.

>  - Nicira extension numbers for encap/decap action numbers and error codes.

>  - Small fixes according to comments.
