+Given \fIid\fR, chooses an OpenFlow port and populates it in
+\fIdst\fB[\fIstart\fB..\fIend\fB]\fR, which must be an NXM register as
+described above.
+.IP
+Currently, \fIid\fR should be the OpenFlow port number of an interface on the
+bridge.  If it isn't then \fIdst\fB[\fIstart\fB..\fIend\fB]\fR will be
+populated with the OpenFlow port "none".  If \fIid\fR is a member of a bond,
+the normal bond selection logic will be used to choose the destination port.
+Otherwise, the register will be populated with \fIid\fR itself.
