Hi. 
Actually patches are already on a list. You only need to add few lines to
make them allow vxlan for netdev-offload-dpdk.

Apply following patch sets on top of this one:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/list/?series=107534
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/list/?series=107545

Change below should than allow you to use dpdk offloading for vxlan ports:
---
diff --git a/lib/netdev-offload-dpdk.c b/lib/netdev-offload-dpdk.c
index b7b0616ec..32f23c401 100644
--- a/lib/netdev-offload-dpdk.c
+++ b/lib/netdev-offload-dpdk.c
@@ -760,6 +760,10 @@ netdev_offload_dpdk_init_flow_api(struct netdev *netdev)
         return EOPNOTSUPP;
     }
 
+    if (!strcmp(netdev_get_name(netdev), "vxlan")) {
+        return 0;
+    }
+
     return netdev_dpdk_flow_api_supported(netdev) ? 0 : EOPNOTSUPP;
 }
 
---
