OVS 2.9 Release

Outstanding bug fixes
- rhel: Fix support for root user using DPDK.
-- Aaron is brewing something for this. Will give an update in the next
few days.
- Docs: mempool requirements & limitations.
-- Led to further discussion about mempool in OVS 2.9

DPDK mempool model
- Discussed some of the issues with per port mempool
- Discussed compatibility issues for an OVS 2.9 and that some users may
not be able to use OVS 2.9 until there is a new mempool scheme
- Possibility of a revert of per port mempool discussed - Ian said he
would send a link and RFC for review
- Jan, Kevin, Flavio spoke/wrote in favour of a revert for OVS 2.9. No
one spoke against it on the call.

Hwol
- Looks to be too late for classification offload patches for OVS 2.9
- Ian had intended to review, but mempool issue took time. Jan said he
would like to review also
- Simon asked if anything blocking them from 2.10 - nothing.

Feel free to add/correct.

Kevin.
