Agreed, the same is not required. As part of initial patch submission we had this part of code but later on we removed the same while working/investigating on vacancy events. (FYI: we have freeze the code for vacancy events feature and after review of the current patch we will be submitting the same as some portion of code is dependent on the current patch) I will send the revised patch for "ovs-ofctl: Implementation of eviction on the basis of Importance" today i.e 11.02.2015.
