[Regression Potential] Minimal; the additional cherry picked patch renames the brcompat.c file brcompat_main.c to avoid a circular dependency during DKMS build. [Original bug report] On Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, after an automatic upgrade from openvswitch 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.3 to openvswith 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.4 the brcompat support does not work any longer. The brcompat kernel module can be build, installed, and loaded, but openvswitch-brcompatd will not start with the error message: "ovs- brcompatd: could not open brcompat socket. Check "brcompat" kernel module." After a downgrade back to version 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.3 brcompat works again. I think this is essentially the same problem as described here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+question/221334 It might be unrelated, but after the upgrade "lsmod" does not list the "openvswitch" module as a dependency of the "brcompat" module. After downgrading, the dependency is shown again.
