JIT like lua might also not work because you need to rewrite OVS to support
it. I don't think that it will be accepted.

And it looks like it's problem in OVS, not in ODP. I.e. OVS should allow
to  use library functions for fast path (where inlines are critical).  I.e.
not just call odp_packet_len(),  but move hole OVS function to dynamic
library.
