Okay... I got to those patches now and see you created them:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2010-October/004130.html
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2010-October/004142.html
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2010-May/002149.html

And Pravin removed them:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2011-October/011947.html


But I couldn't make out the exact reason why you got this removed..
As said by your last mail, it was a HACK.. But did that worked well??

At this point of time we need something working, don't mind if its
a hack though for the time being. Can get it fixed later on..

Or if you are aware of any further attempts in the last two years to
get it back?

Thanks for your help :)
