====================
Allow openvswitch to query ports in another netns.
Today Open vSwitch users are moving internal ports to other namespaces and
although packets are flowing OK, the userspace daemon can't find out basic
information like if the port is UP or DOWN, for instance.
This patchset extends openvswitch API to retrieve the current netnsid of
a port. It will be used by the userspace daemon to find out in which netns
the port is located.
This patchset also extends the rtnetlink getlink call to accept and operate
on a given netnsid. More details are available in each patch.
