What do you think?
You're probably right and we could remove the macro, but I didn't test that. Was just fixing a problem at hands. The issue however might arise in the future if the check will ever creep out from OVS'es .c files to its internal (non-public) headers that OVN use. In this case, if OVN will not check, it will silently start using a slow allocation method.
