Description
Since we now maintain a set of flood ports for each guest, we should munge the ofp_phy_port structs passing from switch to guest to reflect the local versions port statuses.

Comments
Comment by Rob Sherwood [ 04/Jul/11 ] This is a little bit of a red herring or a lot of work. Use case: controller A sends down a port_mod message marking port 5 as "administrively down". Currently, we don't properly block those messages, so the port will actually go down for all slices (!!). But, one could imagine capturing that message, and making the port virtually "disappear" for just that slice. In that case, when a message that includes these status bits (e.g., port_status, features_reply) should similarly be modified to better maintain the virtualization for the flowvisor.
