Pravin B Shelar 6b001e682e openvswitch: Use Geneve device.
With help of tunnel metadata mode OVS can directly use
Geneve devices to implement Geneve tunnels.
This patch removes all of the OVS specific Geneve code
and make OVS use a Geneve net_device. Basic geneve vport
is still there 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
