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.
