[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] xenserver: spec file uses kernel_version and kernel_suffix from cmdline

Citrix build Oxford CSP kernel does not follow earlier convention of kernel name suffix
being used as the suffix of the kernel version.

In conjunction with this change, the build process will be modified to use rpm
to query the installed kernel.*devel package for its Version, Release and Name
The build process will them invoke rpmbuild with the values on the command line.
The changes to the build process are documented in INSTALL.XenServer

Updated INSTALL.XenServer to reflect this change.

With this change, the spec file is modified to use the command line arguments
of kernel_version and kernel_suffix and use these to name the openvswitch-modules
package and its dependencies.
