Bug description:
  --- SRU-OVS ---

  [Impact]

  This release sports mostly bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our
  supported customers have access to these improvements.

  The update contains the following package updates:

     * openvswitch 2.13.3

  [Test Case]
  The following SRU process was followed:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStackUpdates

  In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will
  run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in
  -proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the
  proposed packages can be let into -updates.

  The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the
  executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until
  this has happened.

  [Regression Potential]
  In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
  aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.

  --- SRU DPDK for this bug ---

  [Impact]

  Due to changes landed in error in the 19.11 stable DPDK branch linking
  of OVS with DPDK is currently broken in Focal and Groovy.

  See http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/stable/2021-March/029418.html

  [Test Case]

  No change rebuild of the openvswitch package

  [Regression Potential]

  The offending commits should not have landed into the stable DPDK
  branch upstream; this has been discussed with developers involved with
  this change and it was agreed that they will be reverted.

  In theory one could say that the linking "now changes from 19.11.6" and
  that is correct. But that is an update-regression, not long in the archive
  and broke the primary in-archive-user being OVS. Therefore the benefit of reverting this outweighs this particular regression.

  --- SRU DPDK for the general MRE ---

  This bug tracks an update for the DPDK packages in:
  - Focal 19.11.6 -> 19.11.7
  - Groovy 19.11.6 -> 19.11.7

  Ready as of March 2021.

  17.11.x (Bionic) is no more getting such releases by upstream and
  20.11 (Hirsute) is new and up to date (20.11.1 will come to Hirsute in
  ~a month).

  This update includes bugfixes only following the SRU policy exception
  defined at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/DPDK.

  No new features added, a classic stable release with a bunch of fixes
  aggregated and enhanced testing by the companies being part of the
  DPDK community.

  [Impact]

  Stable release update so not directly applicable; see the exception policy document linked above.

  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/+bug/1836365
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/+bug/1912464

  [Major Changes]

  As listed by upstream all is supposed to be fixes, no features:
  https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-19.11/rel_notes/release_19_11.html#id18

  [Test Plan]

  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/DPDK#SRU_TestVerify
  I'll attach a log of executing said tests from a ppa with the upload
  and explain why if there are any non passing tests.

  [Regression Potential]

  Upstream performs extensive testing before release, giving us a high
  degree of confidence in the general case. There problems are most
  likely to manifest in Ubuntu-specific integrations, such as in
  relation to the versions of dependencies available and other
  packaging-specific matters.
