Hi Markos,

the file descriptor limit issue was first reported on OVS 2.8, so it's worth it.
If you backport it, please consider backporting the following commit from Ben,
which removes some code which become unused after my patch:

commit 769b50349f28c5f9e4bff102bc61dadcb9b99c37

    dpif: Remove support for multiple queues per port.
