OVS 1.9.3 needed a trip to userspace for every new microflow. But OVS
1.11 introduced megaflows, so that in many cases that is no longer
necessary.

Sorry for long delay here.
I wanted to point out something about:
"At a high level, the fraction of packets that make it to userspace should be
very small. So it is not worth the optimization"
If we have the port NORMAl (and perhaps, FLOOD) set, then the queuing of
packets to userspace happens
