The way OVS is coded and expected to flow (ovs_vport_receive ->
ovs_dp_process_packet -> ovs_execute_actions -> do_execute_actions) I do
not see any way to refactor it to expose a hook to XDP. But, if the use
case is not doing anything big with OVS (e.g., just ACLs and forwarding)
that is easy to replicate in XDP - but then that means duplicate data
and code.
Linux bridge on the other hand seems fairly straightforward to refactor.
One helper is needed to convert ingress <port,mac,vlan> to an L2 device
(and needs to consider stacked devices) and then a second one to access
the fdb for that device.
Either way, bypassing the bridge has mixed results: latency improves but
throughput takes a hit (no GRO).
