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

1. https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2022-april/393292.html
Changes in V2:
* Removed the Linux datapath and fixed up various Makefiles to adjust
* Moved openvswitch.h from datapath/linux/compat/include to include/linux
and fixed up the Makefiles to adjust
* Removed further instances in utilities and auxiliary files where the
--with-linux configuration command was still being used.
* Changed order of patches to (hopefully) fix up some robot auto-test
errors
Changes in V3:
* Squashed the two patches removing rhel specs due to interdependence
between the two that caused build errors between application of each
of the patches
* Moved the changes to acinclude.m4 towards the end of the series
Changes in V4:
* Changed up the order of the patches again to fix robot errors
* Added back most of the tests in .github/workflows/build-and-test.yml
* Removed xenserver and related documentation, test scripts and makefile
dependencies
Changes in V5:
* Squashed two patches from previous series into a single patch. There
was no good reason to separate changes to auxiliary and utilities
from the removal of the Linux datapath and the two patches had a
tricky dependency between them. Best to combine them.
* Various cleanups, title changes and amended commit messages as
suggested by David Marchand in his reviews.
* Drops the xenserver removal patch - this patch causes 'make check'
failures and there is no reason why it can't be submitted separately.
Changes in V6:
* Applied Ilya's suggested patch to fix up the robot error caused by
missing all-distfiles. We'll see if that fixup stops the robot from
complaining.
* With these changes the github workflows build and test work without
errors:
https://github.com/gvrose8192/ovs-experimental/runs/7347904715?check_suite_focus=true
Still to do:
* Submit the patch to remove xenserver separately once I figure out why
the removal causes 'make check' errors for a few interface reconfiguration
tests.
Yeh, would be nice to clean up that part as well in a future patch.
Working on it now.
Greg Rose (6):
ci: Stop building OVS kernel module.
rhel: Stop packaging OVS kernel module.
tests: Remove support for check-kmod test.
Make: Remove the Linux datapath.
acinclude.m4: Remove support for building the OVS kernel module.
Documentation: Remove kernel module documentation.
Thanks, Greg and David! Applied.
Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
Awesome, thank you and much thanks to David as well!
