With the latest change of separating vports into their own modules,
it is necessary to export all public functions in linux/compat/
directory. Also, we should prefix functions which replace the
upstream ones with 'rpl_' and others with 'ovs_'. This will prevent
the linker error when vport modules use those functions in the future.
e.g., the to be merged vport-stt module will use the flex_array_*
functions which are not currently exported.

Add support for building the in-tree kernel datapath for
Linux kernels up to 3.13. There were some changes in the
netlink area which required adding new compatibility code
for this layer. Also, some new per-cpu stats initialization
code was added.
Based on patch from Kyle Mestery.

Following patch improves rxhash calculation, It is taken from
upstream Linux kernel code.
From kernel 3.8, skb_get_rxhash() can handle hardware generated
l4-rxhash. Therefore compat skb_get_rxhash() is not used on
kernel 3.8 or new.
