test_oxm: Add UTs for 64-bit experimenter OXMs
Following Open vSwitch, introduce "dp_hash" OXM for testing. >From their commit log: (commit 508a933809f8a8ede4fb93f1c1e3212799efc16a) > Testing experimenter OXM is tricky because I do not know of any in > widespread use. Two ONF proposals use experimenter OXMs: EXT-256 and > EXT-233. EXT-256 is not suitable to implement for testing because its use > of experimenter OXM is wrong and will be changed. EXT-233 is not suitable > to implement for testing because it requires adding a new field to struct > flow and I am not yet convinced that that field and the feature that it > supports is worth having in Open vSwitch. Thus, this commit assigns an > experimenter OXM code point to an existing OVS field that is currently > restricted from use by controllers, "dp_hash", and uses that for testing. > Because controllers cannot use it, this leaves future versions of OVS free > to drop the support for the experimenter OXM for this field without causing > backward compatibility problems.
