Got it, then we can safely remove inclue/linux/if_packet.h in ovs because the minimal Linux version OVS supports has supported tpacket_v3. Thanks Ben for clarification.

I think my meaning was misunderstood. Linux always has if_packet.h.
Only recent enough Linux has TPACKET_V3 in if_packet.h. If the system is Linux but the TPACKET_V3 types and constants are not defined in if_packet.h, then the build system should define them.
