Title:
  --vhost-owner --vhost-perm no more transferred to DPDK EAL commandline

Status in dpdk package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in openvswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,
  this was reported by an early tester of OVS 2.6 / DPDK 16.07 packages in yakkety.

  TL;DR
   - the old --vhost-owner --vhost-perm seem no more to be passed to the DPDK commandline
   - OVS complains about ovs-vswitchd: unrecognized option '--vhost-owner'

  Example:
  ovs-vswitchd \
  --vhost-owner libvirt-qemu:kvm \
  --vhost-perm 0664 \
  -- unix:$DB_SOCK -vconsole:emer -vsyslog:err -vfile:info \
  --mlockall --no-chdir \
  --log-file=/var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log \
  --pidfile=/var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid --detach --monitor
  ovs-vswitchd: unrecognized option '--vhost-owner'

  I expect this to be either of these two:
  - actually those should be after a --dpdk switch to get to the DPDK EAL commandline. Just how we describe it at https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/DPDK.html#dpdk-openvswitch
  OR
  - An upstream change on OVS 2.6 now interferes and breaks the passing of these options. A lot was changed to push DPDK config to the ovsdb so this can be possible.

  See http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/INSTALL.DPDK-
  ADVANCED.md.html for most of the new other_config values.

  I expect to be the second more than the first case due to DPDK
  configuration being completely changed into an ovsdb based operation.
  Search for dpdk here http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovs-
  vswitchd.conf.db.5.html.

  But since neither DPDK nor OVS took the ownership control patches
  (https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@openvswitch.org/msg69706.html) it
  has to be a delta that we add once we have final OVS 2.6.
