I'm not familiar with ovs code. But for example ovs has something like:
ovs_get_and_packet_process()
{
// here you use some inlines:
pkt = odp_recv();
len = odp_packet_len(pkt);
... etc.
}
So it's clear for each target arch you needs it's own variant of
ovs_get_and_packet_process() function. That function should go from ovs to
dynamic library.
