A couple of small Open vSwitch fixes and cleanups that accumulated
while working on larger pieces.

The biggest change is the exposure of <linux/openvswitch.h> to user
space to make the Netlink interface available without requiring every
appliation to copy the header file from a source tree.

Thomas Graf (6):
  openvswitch: Specify the minimal length of OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PACKET in
    the policy
  openvswitch: Use nla_memcpy() to memcpy() data from attributes
  openvswitch: Refine Netlink message size calculation and kill
    FLOW_BUFSIZE
  openvswitch: Move common genl notify code into ovs_notify()
  openvswitch: Use ETH_ALEN to define ethernet addresses
  openvswitch: Expose <linux/openvswitch.h> to userspace
