[ovs-dev] [PATCH v1] docs: Use DPDK 16.11.2 stable release.

Hi All,

I would like to see this go into the OVS 2.7.1 branch to ensure users are using the latest stable DPDK 16.11 release. If anyone has time to review this patch I would be grateful. I've been using 16.11.2 myself for the last number of weeks and have not encountered any issues.

Thanks
Ian
