[ovs-dev] Question on reworking the Linux 3.9 patch

I'm hoping to get this done today, but had a question (was on PTO yesterday):

I see in Jesse's reply to Pravin's patch [1] a mention of putting the new code
into the main path, and the compatibility code should be for older kernels.
My question to Jesse is this: When you made this comment, did you mean
the entire rpl___skb_gso_segment() function should be in the straight-line
code, and the compat code should default that back to __skb_gso_segment()?
That's what I was thinking, but wanted to verify before proceeding down
that path.

Thanks,
Kyle
