xenserver: modify module spec file
Based on feedback from Citrix about building for multiple kernels, the spec file has been modified to take three arguments on the command line: kernel_name, kernel_version and kernel_flavor. The kernel_flavor is either xen or kdump. The kernel_name is the Name value embedded in the kernel rpm and the kernel_version is Version-Release values embedded in the kernel rpm. The xen_version is calculated. The INSTALL document has been updated to reflect these changes. Signed-off-by: Sajjad Lateef <slateef@nicira.com> (cherry picked from commit b11e4aa7e92854612a4d139b8a620d036a5d41a2)
