datapath: Break up GSO packets before sending to userspace.
On a Xen host, over-MTU GSO packets from virtual machines can end up sent
down by the virtual switch to userspace. This happens, for example, if a

this happens, the packet is not marked as GSO when secchan sends it back up
via dpif_execute(), and the packet is then discarded in dp_xmit_skb() as
too large.
This commit solves the problem by breaking GSO packets into MTU-size pieces

Tested by running "netperf" between two VMs on different boxes and running
"dpctl dp-del-flows" on the appropriate datapath a few times in the middle

brcompat: Add support for bonded interfaces; avoid multiple cfg_read() call.s
Bonded interfaces have to be looked up under the bonding.* hierarchy, but
the code here didn't know about that. Also, this was calling cfg_read()

set of bridges and interfaces could change while we were iterating. In
theory, they shouldn't have, since the file was locked, but that
assumption still made me nervous so I eliminated it.

Add hack to get around "." delimiter problem with policing vifs.
The vswitchd.conf format uses "." as a delimiter. Unfortunately, vifs
use a "." in their name. The port is specified as part of the key when
ingress policing is enabled, but the cfg parser balks at this. For the
time-being, we check all valid ports to see if they have a policing
policy defined. This is wasteful, but it works until we change the
delimiter.

vswitch: Do not use "xe" on XenServer, to avoid deadlock.
Commit
4ab581b949, "vswitch: Fix duplicated DPIDs observed under
XenServer," changed vswitchd to use the "xe" program to obtain the host
UUID and network name under XenServer. Unfortunately, on XenServer pool
slaves this causes a deadlock, because on such machines "xe" always
attempts to contact the master to perform database queries. Since vswitchd
is the entity that must set up the flow that "xe" initiates as part of
that connection, this will deadlock and fail.
Instead, get the host UUID from /etc/xensource-inventory and hash it with
the bridge name. Discussion with the NOX folks indicates that this should
provide sufficient stability and uniqueness.
