Thanks for submitting this work! The patch is corrupted and cannot be applied: spaces at the beginning of lines have been deleted. Can you please send it with "git send-email", which does not corrupt patches, send it as plaintext attachments, or make it available as a Git branch somewhere? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
