Understood that this series of patches  you sent does not require the 
kernel datapath backport
but I found that the kernel datapath patches do modify the openvswitch 
uapi header and adds
new switch cases.  These need to be handled eventually which can be done 
when you do the
backport.

Thanks for coordinating!
