This RFC patch makes use of the vhost-user implementation that is
available in DPDK 2.0. Submitting as RFC as this implementation
depends on OVS support for DPDK 2.0. As such, this patch can be
considered experimental.

Since DPDK 2.0 support is necessary for vhost-user, please use this
patch to enable compilation with 2.0:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-April/054302.html

v3:
- Changed default socket location from '/tmp' to the return value of
ovs_rundir() , usually '/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch'.
- Added ovs-vswitchd cmd line argument for specifying an alternate
location for the sockets to be created (--vhost_sock_dir).
