[ovs-dev] [PATCH v1] rhel: support kmod build against multiple 7.2 kernels, rhel6

This patch extends commit 89dd5819cf18 (rhel: support kmod-openvswitch
build against multiple kernels, rhel6) to support building kmod RPMs
with multiple minor revisions within 3.10.0-327 kernels. It was
discovered for RHEL 7.2 that 41.3 minor revision introduced backward
incompatible changes.
