+Subject: [PATCH] datapath: Use ccflags-y instead of deprecated EXTRA_CFLAGS

-Subject: [PATCH] datapath/linux: add KCFLAGS var to modules Makefile.main.in
-
-This is mostly required because of GCC 4.9 which seems
-to error out with:
-  openvswitch/datapath/linux/datapath.c:2108:10:
-       error: macro "DATE" might prevent reproducible builds
-
-We would have wanted to add '-Wno-error=date-time' directly
-but that would be too specific, so we decided to add
-a generic make flag and configure it with what we need.
