This patch is equivalent to a work done in the OVS tree. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1023405/ As a standalone it doesn't serve any purpose (as mentioned - no functional change). It serves as a pre-step towards another patch in the OVS: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1022794/ So, the purpose of doing it in the kernel is just to keep this H file identical. Once it is approved for the kernel, we will be able to proceed with it in the OVS.
