The implementation looks good to me. Please also add "offload-driver"
to the vswitch.xml.
About the interface, currently people are just setting
$ ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:hw-offload=true
and assume tc hw offload for linux device and DPDK rte_flow for OVS-DPDK.
Instead of boolean, another way is to
$ ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:hw-offload={tc, rte_flow, xdp}
or just
$ ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:offload={tc, rte_flow, xdp}
Let's wait for others feedback.
