  This patch set adds support for structure fields bigger than 64 bits.
These fields can be packet header or meta-data fields. They can be
used as part of the table lookup key or as action arguments. They are
now valid operands for the move instruction.

This is required for supporting the 128-bit IPv6 addresses, which up
to now had to be split into two 64-bit fields.

Cristian Dumitrescu (4):
  pipeline: remove the 64-bit limit for structure fields
  pipeline: read large structure fields on the control path
  pipeline: support large default action arguments
  pipeline: add instruction support for moving large structure fields

Applied, thanks.
