It is time to remove support for the OVS kernel driver and push

There are many Linux specific source modules in the datapath that
will need eventual removal but some headers are still required for
the userspace code (which seems counterintuitive but...)

Greg Rose (6):
   acinclude.m4: Remove support for building the OVS kernel module

I would put this patch later in the series, once packaging, CI and
other scripts passing this option to ./configure have been dropped.

With the whole series applied, we still have references to --with-linux in:
.ci/linux-build.sh

Hi David,

I will update the .ci/linux-build.sh script when I make the change to
support AFXDP builds.

Vagrantfile
utilities/docker/debian/build-kernel-modules.sh
utilities/ovs-dev.py

I've updated these files to remove the --with-linux references as
well as associated  cleanups necessary for that  change.

xenserver/openvswitch-xen.spec.in

This is a bit of an issue.  Does anyone even use xenserver anymore?
All of the documentation and build instructions are really old and
I wonder of they work anymore.   I have no xenserver  build environment
to  test  any changes.

Thanks for all the reviews!

Regards,

- Greg
