The first patch refactors the erspan header definitions. 
Originally, the erspan fields are defined as a group into a __be16 field,
and use mask and offset to access each field.  This is more costly due to
calling ntohs/htons and error-prone.  The first patch changes it to use
bitfields.  The second patch introduces the new OVS tunnel key attribute
to program both v1 and v2 erspan tunnel for openvswitch.

v4->v5
  rather than passing individual members of erspan_metadata,
  just pass the whole binary structure between kernel and userspace,
  suggested by Pravin.

v3->v4
  change from be32 to u32 for OVS_ERSPAN_OPT_IDX, suggested by Jiri Benc.

v2->v3
  revert the "openvswitch: Add erspan tunnel support." commit ceaa001a170e.
  redesign the OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_ERSPAN_OPTS as nested attribute

v1->v2
  Fix compatibility issue suggested by Pravin.
