This patch adds support for configuring the priority of
offload providers at a port level.  When multiple providers
exist and support the same port, the 'hw-offload-priority'
option allows specifying the order in which they are tried.

This patch adds support for configuring the priority of offload
providers at a port level. When multiple providers exist and support
the same port, the 'hw-offload-priority' option allows specifying
the order in which they are tried.

Does this global smap need synchronization mechanisms? The code accesses
port_order_cfg from dpif_offload_port_add() while it can be modified in
dpif_offload_set_global_cfg().

Does this code handle the case when port names change in the configuration?
Would smap_clear() followed by smap_add() properly handle ports that were
removed from the config but whose entries might still be referenced in
dpif_offload_port_add()?

There are extra spaces before the 'if' statement. Should this follow the
standard indentation with 4 spaces instead of 5?

+          This configuration sets an explicit list of hardware offload
+          providers to try on this port.  The argument should be a
+          comma-separated list of hardware offload provider names, or the
+          word <code>none</code>.

+        <p>
+          If <code>none</code> is encountered in the list, further trying of
+          offload providers is stopped. For example, if the list only contains
+          <code>none</code>, hardware offload is disabled on this port even if
+          it is globally enabled. Note that unknown hardware offload provider
+          names are ignored.

+          The default value is <code>none</code>, i.e., not set, which uses the

+          configuration. Changing this value after offload enablement requires
+          restarting the daemon.
