[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/5] Add NETLINK defines and remove padding for MSVC

[Alin Serdean]

We will also make changes to the kernel extension to accommodate the padding.

Kind Regards,
Alin.

I'd prefer to use the same Netlink alignment rules on Windows as we do
elsewhere.  Fewer special cases.

Thanks,
