In order to use dpdk ports in ovs they have to be bound to a DPDK compatible driver before ovs is started.
This patch adds the possibility to hotplug (or hot-unplug) a device after ovs has been started. The implementation adds two appctl commands: netdev-dpdk/attach and netdev-dpdk/detach After the user attaches a new device, it has to be added to a bridge using the add-port command, similarly, before detaching a device, it has to be removed using the del-port command.
