Subject: OVS Kernel Datapath development

Since the beginning OVS kernel datapath development is primarily done
on external OVS repo. Now we have mostly synced upstream and external
OVS. So we have decided to change this process. New process is as
follows.

1. OVS feature development that involves kernel datapath should be
done on net-next tree datapath.
2. Such feature patch series should be posted on netdev and ovs-dev
mailing list.
3. Once review is done for entire series, kernel and OVS userspace
patches will be merged in respective repo.
4. After the merge developer is suppose to send patches for external
kernel datapath along with old kernel compatibility code. So that we
can keep external datapath insync.

Thanks,
Pravin.
