Add support for 802.1AD to the openvswitch kernel module (Version 8.) Please replace version 7 submitted on April 25, with this patch. Version 8 has changes based on the review by Pravin Shelar of V7 and a fix to flow.c to initialize the ctci in the flow key.
There was one recommended change from the review that was not made in this patch about a double check for vlan headers. The rationale for not making that change will be explained separately. Although the Open Flow specification specified support for 802.1AD (qinq) as well as push and pop vlan headers, so far Open vSwitch has only supported a single tag header. This patch addresses adds 802.1ad to the Linux kernel openvswitch data path. This patch is version 8 of the patch andccompanies user space version 7 of the patch previously submitted separately to openvswitch dev list.
