[Bug 2067889] Re: DPDK 23.11.1 / OVS 3.3.0 cause test failures

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Frode mentioned that OVS 3.3.1 might get some bonus love in regard to DPDK 23.11.1 [1].
In the past that was only ever needed for new features, which the stable update does not have, but there is a chance that this is just a test bug I do not yet understand fully - so yeah, giving this a look with OVS 3.3.1 might be worth a try.

Worst case there is a chance that DPDK 23.11.1 only works with OVS
>=3.3.1 which we need to express in dependencies than (which is odd as
DPDK does not depend on OVS, but vice versa)

Also adding a tag to show up in excuses, as this is what makes those
stuck in proposed migration.

** Tags added: update-excuse

  The logs are messy to read if not used to it, this is a try at debugging what is going wrong.
  So far it seems other people have retried 14 times, and 14714 fail at the same tests - I think there is a real issue.

  As shown below, one can find always these fail:
  4: OVS-DPDK - ping vhost-user ports                FAILED (system-dpdk.at:148)
  5: OVS-DPDK - ping vhost-user-client ports         FAILED (system-dpdk.at:224)
  16: OVS-DPDK - MTU increase vport port              FAILED (system-dpdk.at:609)
  17: OVS-DPDK - MTU decrease vport port              FAILED (system-dpdk.at:651)
  20: OVS-DPDK - MTU upper bound vport port           FAILED (system-dpdk.at:767)
  21: OVS-DPDK - MTU lower bound vport port           FAILED (system-dpdk.at:809)
