Bring in a number of new features, mostly implemented by Michio Honda:
- the VALE switch now support up to 254 destinations per switch,
unicast or broadcast (multicast goes to all ports).
- we can attach hw interfaces and the host stack to a VALE switch,
which means we will be able to use it more or less as a native bridge
(minor tweaks still necessary).
A 'vale-ctl' program is supplied in tools/tools/netmap
to attach/detach ports the switch, and list current configuration.
- the lookup function in the VALE switch can be reassigned to
something else, similar to the pf hooks. This will enable
attaching the firewall, or other processing functions (e.g. in-kernel
openvswitch) directly on the netmap port.
The internal API used by device drivers does not change.
Userspace applications should be recompiled because we
bump NETMAP_API as we now use some fields in the struct nmreq
that were previously ignored -- otherwise, data structures
are the same.
Manpages will be committed separately.
