Unfortunately Zoltan's fix affecting skb_zerocopy() was merged after el7
code freeze so 7.0 will export that as void but you'll need a workaround
anyway as upstream kernels have been released for both signatures.
A subsequent update is very likely to incorporate the fix which will
change the return value to int.
Thomas, can you give an insight on approximate timeframe for next update
release? Will it be 7.0 branch or 7.1? Looks like that the kernel can be
updated in some weeks, according to previous dates of releases, but I`d
prefer to ask anyway.
It will be both. 7.0 is yet to go GA but we the fix can be nominated
for a 7.0.z async release. The prereq for that is inclusion of the fix
in 7.1.

in a meantime for tests, but it will be lovely to allow possibility to
use more or less generic OVS datapath distribution.
Without knowing your exact requirement to use the external kmod, the
easiest way towards that would be to continue submitting & merging all
code to kernel.org and not depend on an externally built kmod.
