Seems reasonable. Thanks! Can we have a Signed-off-by line? The
CONTRIBUTING file explains the format and the meaning of this line as
follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please sign off on the patch as a submitter, and be sure to have the
author(s) sign off for patches that you did not author.
Simply include your name and email address as the last line of the commit
message before any comments (and author too, if that is not you):
Signed-off-by: Author Name <author.name@email.address...>
Signed-off-by: Submitter Name <submitter.name@email.address...>
By doing this, you are agreeing to the Developer's Certificate of Origin
(see below for more details).
Developer's Certificate of Origin
---------------------------------
To help track the author of a patch as well as the submission chain,
and be clear that the developer has authority to submit a patch for
inclusion in openvswitch please sign off your work. The sign off
certifies the following:
