There are occasions when an openvswitch kernel module rpm which does
not match the exact build number of the running kernel. In that
case the openvswitch kernel modules will be installed to the
"weak-updates" directory under the /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
directory. But the new kernel modules will not be found because
the default /etc/depmod.d/dist.conf search path lists weak-updates
last.
This patch creates a file in /etc/depmod.d/ named 01openvswitch.conf.
This file specifies weak-updates first in the search path and since
it is named with a preceeding "01" it will be found first by depmod.
This resolves issues with customers who have installed openvswitch
kernel modules previously and a kernel upgrade has occurred since
and when the kernel minor build numbers do not exactly match the
running kernel.

Ah yes, of course. What was I thinking!? I'll add your correct
authorship and signed-off-by in the next round of patches.
Thanks!
