Looking at the xenserver spec files, the whole point of the virtual
package openvswitch.ko.X seems to be manual ABI versioning (which it
seems was never bumped so far). We can't break ABI to user space
anyway so I fail to see the purpose for this.

The Fedora spec file is lacking a proper %files wildcard for all
installed .ko though.
