Pravin B Shelar b2acd1dc39 openvswitch: Use regular GRE net_device instead of vport
Using GRE tunnel meta data collection feature, we can implement
OVS GRE vport. This patch removes all of the OVS
specific GRE code and make OVS use a ip_gre net_device.
Minimal GRE vport is kept to handle compatibility with
current userspace application.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This
control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.
See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called openvswitch.
If unsure, say N.
