Because of this issue force-reload-kmod command occasionally malfunctioned and failed to load the right kernel module. This bug happened *occasionally* because the default Ubuntu depmod configuration in /etc/depmod.d/ubuntu.conf is set to look for kernel modules first in "updates" directory, then in "ubuntu" directory and then in other directories. If there were two openvswitch.ko modules in "other directories", then modprobe would have loaded kernel module that was nondeterministically listed first by file system.
