Thanks for you review Eelco, it is much appreciated.
I agree that section is not entirely consistent. For v2 I've made a minor
edit to the 1st paragraph; and dropped the 2nd paragraph, as you suggested.
The result is as follows:
Q: What Linux kernel versions does each Open vSwitch release work with?
A: Open vSwitch userspace works with the kernel module shipped with
Linux upstream 3.3 and later.
Building the Linux kernel module from the Open vSwitch source tree was
deprecated starting with Open vSwitch 2.15. And the kernel module
source code was completely removed from the Open vSwitch source tree in
3.0 release.
