The tests haven't been seeing much love and are suffering from bit-rot at
this point. We're removing them, since we have other ways to test at
this point.
libtool was needed when NOX was directly linking against libopenflow.
Since it doesn't do that anymore, we can drop its use (and that makes
OpenFlow configure and build slightly faster).
Because of historical string munging during the kernel build process
if you named your hardware table hwtable-something, when it was built
the filename would look appropriate, but the actual module info would change
the internal name to be hwtable_something, thus after an insmod with the filename
you could not perform an rmmod with the same filename. As a result
the naming scheme has been changed to hwtable_NAME, NAME being the hardware
the table supports.
Further, include files in the hardware table should be prefixed with the
folder name, e.g. #include "hwtable_NAME/my_header.h".
Based on commits from David Erickson <derickso@stanford.edu>.
The new build system supports using a build tree separate from the
source tree, which makes it easier to build for multiple targets
using a single source tree. It also factors out the means for specifying
the modules to be built and the source files that comprise those
modules into simple files named Modules.mk. This is intended to
make it easier to add support for separate hardware table modules in
an upcoming commit.
Make LIST_FOR_EACH[_SAFE] variable take logically correct value upon loop termination.
Also, add regression tests for linked list routines, to ensure that this
change does not break code.
Also, add new macro LIST_FOR_EACH_REVERSE.
