Today i played with openvswitch on my workstation with kernel 2.6.40 and found 
that it break when i built. The issue is introduced by commit 
ceb176fdb72bb7ce90debc66e1eeb1d25823d30a

Below is the error log.

                 from 
/home/zwu/work/virt/openvswitch/datapath/linux/genetlink-brcompat.c:10:
/home/zwu/work/virt/openvswitch/datapath/linux/compat/include/linux/skbuff.h:243:20:

‘skb_reset_mac_len’ was here

After this patch is applied, i can successfully do one build and be happy to 
see that multiple VMs can communicate with each other.
