Hi,

The meaning of dpif is a userspace means it needs to handle tunneling and other 
stuff that kernel dpif doesn't need as the kernel does it for it.
So while !dpif_is_netlink() is even more correct and better than current 
dpif_is_netdev() there was also a point here that dpif.c is not familiar with a 
specific dpif and not accessing a specific dpif function.

I think introducing a features API to dpif could be an overkill at this point.
So if future dpifs might need something specific other than handled by kernel 
or not I think this can be done at a later time.

Thanks,
Roi
