[OpenWrt-Devel] Openvswitch package not available in trunk

@Florian
So, I took some time today to patch a bit of support for OVS to compile on
OpenWRT with kernel 4.1

Can you pull this from my fork and test it out a bit ?
Branch is here: https://github.com/commodo/packages/tree/ovs-kernel-4.1
Commit is this one:
https://github.com/commodo/packages/commit/de519aac8c751cd8744d839efd071cdf02891db1

If you need a tarball, send me a message and I can prepare one, or maybe
Github has a download zip/tar button per branches somewhere not sure.

Anyway, I'd appreciate if you took the time to test it out a bit.
I'm a bit swamped and don't have time to do proper testing ; to be honest I
just made it build, and I haven't managed to get hold of a device with
which to actually test it.
If all is good I'll add a PR into the official OpenWRT packages.

Thanks
