I'll rename to 'input_func'. Does that sound good to you?

This function can't be static. We need it to be available in 
lib/dpif-netdev-private-dpif.c to register it as the DPIF function for the 
dpif_scalar dpif_impl. I hope that makes sense.

Good idea. Hiding the function pointer from here is a nice improvement. I'll 
rework it to do this.
