Since we're using the kernel's module, this is
un-necessary.
Should speed up the build a bit.

Notes:
- drop un-needed patches
- bump kernel support up to 4.9
- switch from git repo to release tarball
- use OVS intree kernel module ; seems that using the kernel module
from the package has certain issues due to the glue/backport code
that tries to adapt to many kernel versions and has a potential
to mess up ; not to mention, the glue code makes the kmod
a few times larger than it should be
- tested on x86_64 VM

Most patches for 4.1 are no longer needed, only a minor patch to fix a
missing WAIT_ANY constant. 2.5.0 depends on nf_conntrack (ipv4 and ipv6)

After a few discussions with the guys working on OpenVSwitch
they've recommended we use the EXTRA_CFLAGS env var for setting
flags for the kernel module.
They've updated the trunk with a patch to accomodate that.
That patch is also in this commit, and replaces a patch that I proposed.
