Hi Justin,

Shall older branches support latest kernels? If so, some kernel patches
need to be backported to avoid compile failure. For example, on 2.11, below
patch is required for kernel module compile to pass on Ubuntu with kernel
version 4.15.0-60:
- datapath: Use new header file net/ipv6_frag.h

For the above patch to be backported without conflict, it requires:
- datapath: Pass nf_hook_state to nf_conntrack_in()
- datapath: Handle removal of nf_conntrack_l3proto.h
- datapath: Fix compiling error for 4.14.111+ kernel
- datapath: meter: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()

Thanks,
Han
