Add header for access to potentially unaligned data.

a given object, then it will access it directly regardless of whether
memcpy() is used to copy it.

managed to come up with two techniques, one GCC-specific, one generic, that
do avoid the misaligned access in my test case. The GCC-specific technique
is the same one used by the Linux kernel (although no code has been
literally copied). The other one seemed obvious but possibly slow

datapath: Enable offloading on internal devices.
Enables checksum offloading, scatter/gather, and TSO on internal
devices. While these optimizations were not previously enabled on
internal ports we already could receive these types of packets from
Xen guests. This has the obvious performance benefits when these
packets can be passed directly to hardware.
There is also a more subtle benefit for GRE on Xen. GRE packets
pass through OVS twice - once before encapsulation and once after
encapsulation, moving through an internal device in the process.
If it is a SG packet (as is common on Xen), a copy was necessary
to linearize for the internal device. However, Xen uses the
memory allocator to track packets so when the original packet is
freed after the copy netback notifies the guest that the packet
has been sent, despite the fact that it is actually sitting in the
transmit queue. The guest then sends packets as fast as the CPU
can handle, overflowing the transmit queue. By enabling SG on
the internal device, we avoid the copy and keep the accounting
correct.
In certain circumstances this patch can decrease performance for
TCP. TCP has its own mechanism for tracking in-flight packets
and therefore does not benefit from the corrected socket accounting.
However, certain NICs do not like SG when it is not being used for
TSO (these packets can no longer be handled by TSO after GRE
encapsulation). These NICs presumably enable SG even though they
can't handle it well because TSO requires SG.

xenserver: Gracefully refresh network UUIDs on pool join or leave.
The vswitch database is supposed to maintain an up-to-date UUID for the
system's networks in the Bridge table as external-ids:network-uuids. On
XenServer systems, /opt/xensource/libexec/interface-reconfigure updates
these fields as bridges are brought up and down. Most of the time, that is
sufficient. However, this is one exception: when a XenServer host enters
or leaves a pool, interface-reconfigure is not invoked, and neither is any
other script. So this commit introduces a new, XenServer-specific daemon
that monitors the XenServer's pool membership status and refreshes the
network UUIDs (by invoking the refresh-network-uuids script) if it changes.
Bug #2097.

ofproto: Fix bad memory access sending large numbers of port stats replies.
The append_stats_reply() function can modify its pointer argument, but
append_port_stat() was failing to propagate this change back to its own
caller. So when append_stats_reply() did in fact modify it (which happens
when the 64 kB maximum OpenFlow message length was exceeded), the
handle_port_stats_request() function would then access freed memory on the
next call to append_port_stat().
