Good question.

For OVN, we're using master directly, so this is sufficient.

I know of one other OpenStack CI job that compiles OVS and uses the v2.5.0
tag.  I just checked a run of that job and for whatever reason, it wasn't
using the newer ubuntu kernel yet.  If/when it does, it will be easy to
update it to get this commit on branch-2.5.  I copied a few people to make
sure they're aware of the issue.
