Till now there was no vport dpif-netdev offload. I think the bug you mention 
was minor (getting a redundant log message like "vxlan_sys_4789 could not be 
found"). 
No harm was caused and vport in dpif-system behaved correctly. 
Is it considered a broken implementation? Not sure. Maybe we can leave it as is 
in current OVS (no backporting) and have a fix in this series for the new vport 
dpif-netdev offload.

Ophir
