The OVS module can operate in conjunction with various types of tunnel ports. These are created as either explicit tunnel vport types, OR by creating a tunnel interface which acts as an anchor for the lightweight tunnel support. This patch adds the ability to add tunnel ports to an OVS datapath for testing various scenarios with tunnel ports. With this addition, the vswitch "plumbing" will at least be able to push packets around using the tunnel vports. Future patches will add support for setting required tunnel metadata for lwts in the datapath. The end goal will be to push packets via these tunnels, and will be used in an upcoming commit for testing the path MTU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
