The following patches are in upstream now
0100-netdev-linux-Use-unsigned-int-for-ifi_flags.patch
0103-ovs-ctl-fix-setting-hostname.patch
0106-ovs-save-compatible-with-busybox-ip-command.patch
0107-datapath-use-KARCH-when-building-linux-datapath-modu.patch
As for 0001-musl-compatibility.patch, the net/if_packet.h part does not
apply anymore. And musl is not relevant as we use libatomic from gcc

Open vSwitch 2.10 introduces meters support to the kernel datapath. In
upstream Linux, the feature is only available since 4.15
This is mainly for make the newly introduced meter features in linux
kernel datapath more easily available

- initscript: skip when ctl scripts are absent. When only ovs is
installed, this will quash error messages of ovn-ctl not found when
invoking stop
- openvswitch-common: include ovs-kmod-ctl
- patches: ovs-save: compatible with busybox ip command

Do not call library initialization when compiling with openssl 1.1.
The package generates the C source files for its DH parameters at
compile time using the host installed openssl. This patch adds a DH
source, using the same parameters, compatible with openssl 1.0 and 1.1.

New scheme mainly provides three packages: openvswitch,
openvswitch-ovn-north, openvswitch-ovn-controller. These should fit
most usage scenarios. Other subpackages like openvswitch-libXXX
etc. are there for dependency management and are hidden from the
menu.
Many python and shell scripts are removed in this revision. Most of
them cannot run out of box at all for lack of dependencies. Others
being legacy ones are not that useful now. Add them back at later time
when real need appears
Below are a simple listing of additions
- initscript now incorporate also ovn north and controller support
- ovn-ctl and ovs-ctl can be invoked directly from within $PATH

Changes since 2.8.2 as recorded in NEWS-2.8.2
- NSH implementation now conforms to latest draft (draft-ietf-sfc-nsh-28).
- Bug fixes
0006-adapt-ovs-scripts.patch was splited into two separate patches as
the original patch does not apply against 2.8.2 anymore. Other patches
are just re-numbered without actual function change

Open vSwitch needs to run python on build machine to make build-time
required files. python-six library is only required by the openvswitch
python library on target machine, not a build dependency.
We override host PYTHONPATH by overriding it in MAKE_VARS. This way we
can remove 0003-override-pythonpath-via-make-vars.patch
This also fixes shebang wrongly pointing to python on host

Quote from Open vSwitch FAQ.md
Open vSwitch userspace should also work with the Linux kernel module
built into Linux 3.3 and later.
Open vSwitch userspace is not sensitive to the Linux kernel version. It
should build against almost any kernel, certainly against 2.6.32 and
later.
The SUPPORTED_KERNEL dependency for openvswitch kernel module only
makes sense when we are building it from the ovs release tarballs
against mainline kernels. Now that we are using the module from vanilla
kernel itself, the dependency does not exist anymore

I should have packaged the OVN stuff, VTEP and what-not
earlier, but was not inspired to do this earlier.
I made some time now to package those parts.
Disabling flake8 & python3 explicitly.
They might get detected and cause weird build errors.

Seems it was not failing for me because it was probably
using my host Python, which may have the `six` package
available.
This patch enforces the use of the packaged Python.
That way, it's more consistent that the python-six
package is available.

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.
