Jesse Gross ccb1352e76 net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
