Judging by the ML, it's more commonly requested to use the current release of DPDK with the last release of OVS e.g. OVS 2.5 and DPDK 16.04, than people wanting OVS master with DPDK X-1. Even for a trivial case like above - it would be ok now to add support for DPDK X-1 but if we then add OVS code to take advantage of new DPDK X features (e.g. vhost pmd) we'll end up with messy code. Also testing efforts would increase (double?), so I don't think we would get it without a cost.
