Send the revert for net (subject will be "[PATCH net] revert: openvswitch: Add erspan tunnel support."). Don't forget to explain why you're proposing a revert. After it is accepted and applied to net.git, wait until the patch appears in net-next.git. It may take a little while. After that, send the new patch(es) for net-next. Jiri
