Hi Ilya. Thank you for your kind review.
As you mention here, when n_txq is greater than n_rxq, DPDK will
have rxq where packets are incoming but not read.

It certainly seems more appropriate to fix the DPDK code than to fix the
OVS documentation, so I'll continue the discussion in the DPDK community.
