Flavio, could you please clarify the process between openvswitch 
maintained by OVS and the openvswitch in net-next and where the kernel 
openvswitch patches are applied first?

I am working on V6 of the kernel portion of this patch and I need to 
incorporate changes that apply to vlan handling in 3.18 kernel from this 
patch, "[ovs-dev] [PATCH 0/8 v3] Datapath backports to support 3.18.x, 
net, net-next." However I see that patch applied to openvswitch master 
here but don't see them in net-next yet?
