Thank you for working on this!

This seems like a good start but I don't see anything that generates an
OFPT_PORT_STATUS message when the LIVE bit gets set or unset.  OpenFlow
requires that behavior:

   All port state bits are read-only and cannot be changed by the
   controller. When the port flags are changed, the switch must send an
   OFPT_PORT_STATUS message to notify the controller of the change.
