 * Switch lifecycle notifications.

 * {@link IFloodlightProviderService#getAllSwitchDpids()}
 * {@link IFloodlightProviderService#getAllSwitchMap()}
 * or any method on the IOFSwitch returned by these methods are

 * Note however, that additional changes could have been committed before
 * the notification for which the notification is still pending. E.g.,
 * {@link IFloodlightProviderService#getSwitch(long)} might return null after
 * a switchAdded() (which happens if the switch has been added and then
 * removed and the remove hasn't been dispatched yet).
 *
 * These lifecycle notification methods are called by a single thread and they
 * will always be called by the same thread.
 * The calls are always in order.
