Greetings all,

I'd like to request a backport to branch 2.5 of the following commits:

  c416eaf8c247225f0ebeb22b6ca5c473e96a53d2 ("ovs-ctl: Remove code for 
upgrading...")
  7fc28c50c0128a0c72853f8f243fd5045bcb9917 ("ovs-ctl: Allow selective start 
for...")
  0cfd47f9dcc3914db8d266ed834d6e2c8fc1a11d ("utilities/ovs-ctl.in: Only ...")
  48458307b52d13d37d8f88d91385b732af12939f ("utilities/ovs-ctl.in: Allow ...")
  4f6218739ec6ed33b71e5127fe619db13605602d ("rhel/ovsdb-server.service: Rename 
...")
  84ad120834919c3e0945e3e58e0f96c07efa0316 ("rhel: Improved Systemd 
Integration")

These commits are part of a refactor of the systemd integration which
fixes a number of ordering issues when starting and stopping the Open
vSwitch service on Red Hat systems.  One particularly nasty example
would be configuring an internal interface through Open vSwitch with an
address, mounting an NFS share from that address, and then attempting to
shutdown or restart (which would result in a roughly 1/2 hour wait time
to stop).

Apologies if this is considered in-appropriate for the 2.5 branch, or if
no new backport requests are accepted on the 2.5 branch.

-Aaron
