[Bug 1116382] [NEW] openvswitch-datapath-dkms FTBFS with 12.04.2 3.5 kernel

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

The openvswitch-datapath-dkms module FTBFS with the 3.5 kernel proposed
for 12.04.2:

DKMS make.log for openvswitch-1.4.0 for kernel 3.5.0-23-generic (x86_64)

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: Leaving directory `/var/lib/dkms/openvswitch/1.4.0/build/datapath/linux'

Although the 3.5 kernel does provide a native openvswitch module, it
does not support GRE tunnels which are used extensively by OpenStack
Quantum.

The patches currently held for quantal should suffice to fix this
problem.
