Since the openvswitch project inception it has had support for building

is the time to fully discontinue support for building the openvswitch
kernel driver. Since Linux 5.9 the Linux built-in openvswitch kernel
driver supports all necessary features and functions of the kernel
datapath and the need to support this additional "out of tree" kernel
module is gone.
Remove the --with-linux configuration support from the acinclude.m4
configuration and warn user it is not supported any longer.

At this point of the series, I still see calls to --with-linux.
Like:
utilities/ovs-dev.py: _sh(*(configure +
["--with-linux=/lib/modules/%s/build" % uname()]))
Doh... OK, good catch.
Thanks,
