Scripts that integrate OVS with a distribution often save and restore flows across distruptive events, such as an upgrade. The ovs-save utility generates a script to assist with this.
When flows include tunnel metadata, we also need to restore the TLV mappings before the flows are re-added. Otherwise, the instance of OVS receiving the new flows won't know the meaning of these fields and will ignore them.
