Hi Niti, That patch series is a good starting point, since the OVS code generally assumes that all packets have an Ethernet header, and the patches relax that assumption. Simon Horman just posted a rebased version of the series here: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-January/064686.html
You should also be aware that Jean Tourrilhes already started work on EXT-112 support, and published his work on github, on top of the patches you referenced in your original email: https://github.com/jean2/openvswitch/tree/jean/ext-112 https://github.com/jean2/openvswitch/tree/jean/ext-112-l3 You may be able to take advantage of that work.
