Subject: brcompat: Remove policy from Netlink code.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b75b7778cc2cfde399abbcf417d15e60618a7bd3;p=openvswitch

brcompat: Remove policy from Netlink code.

Policies are only useful for data that is received by a Netlink socket.
They do not apply to data that is sent out.  Since this code does not
parse the messages that it receives at all, it does not need any policy.
