[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] xenserver: Restart ovs-xapi-sync on kmod reload.

[Ethan Jackson]

Some users never restart OVS, they just reload the kernel module on
each new version. Since ovs-xapi-sync is a daemon, a restart is
required to use the new code.  Therefore, without this patch, users
could unwittingly use stale versions of ovs-xapi-sync.

Bug #9919.
