After a few discussions with the guys working on OpenVSwitch
they've recommended we use the EXTRA_CFLAGS env var for setting
flags for the kernel module.
They've updated the trunk with a patch to accomodate that.
That patch is also in this commit, and replaces a patch that I proposed.

When OVS detects a kernel version >= 3.12 it does not build
it's own vxlan module and tries to use the kernel's, when building
the OVS kernel module.
I also pushed a patch to the OpenWRT trunk to add a +kmod-vxlan package.
This will add the kernel's vxlan.ko kernel module if it exists.
So, for kernel >= 3.12, this package should exist and be installed
when installing OVS.
Tested on OpenWRT trunk with kernel 3.14.18.

Seems that while fixing the build for GCC 4.9
I broke the build for GCC 4.8, because that KCFLAG I added
causes a build error (since it's not recognized).
The fix is to add KCFLAG only when GCC 4.9 is used.
OpenVSwitch now builds successfully with GCC 4.8 and 4.9.

Requires python package.
Required by other openvswitch subpackages (like openvswitch-python).

This is default if ovs is started through ovs-ctl but we start it directly, hence
tell procd to use nice -10 for ovs.

According to the NEWS message from the main OVS site:
http://openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-2.3.0
Excerpt:
- ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer
packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed
incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part
of an Open vSwitch deployment.
Current feed was updated based on a feed that packaged OVS 1.9,
and subsequently updated.
For now, we'll remove it, since it's not required.
When I tested the feed, I tested it on a setup that has been configured
some time ago, and does not have that package enabled.
So, I'll remove it to prevent confusion.
