OVS vswitch has extended IPFIX exporter to export tunnel headers
to improve network visibility.
To export this information userspace needs to know egress tunnel
for given packet. By extending packet attributes datapath can
export egress tunnel info for given packet. So that userspace
can ask for egress tunnel info in userspace action. This
information is used to build IPFIX data for given flow.

The internal and netdev vport remain part of openvswitch.ko. Encap
vports including vxlan, gre, and geneve can be built as separate
modules and are loaded on demand. Modules can be unloaded after use.
Datapath ports keep a reference to the vport module during their
lifetime.
Allows to remove the error prone maintenance of the global list
vport_ops_list.

The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options
that are in use and can handle newly defined options without
further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array
of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.
