The intention is to have this patch backported to stable branches before
making actual stable releases, so users will be warned.

Post-v2.17.0
---------------------
+ - libopenvswitch API change:
+ * To fix the Undefined Behavior issue causing the compiler to incorrectly
+ optimize important parts of code, container iteration macros (e.g.,
+ LIST_FOR_EACH) have been re-implemented in a UB-safe way.
+ * Backwards compatibility has mostly been preserved, however the
+ user-provided pointer is now set to NULL after the loop (unless it
+ exited via "break;")
+ * Users of libopenvswitch will need to double-check the use of such loop
+ macros before compiling with a new version.
+ * Since the change is limited to the definitions within the headers, the
+ ABI is not affected.
- OVSDB:
* 'relay' service model now supports transaction history, i.e. honors the
'last-txn-id' field in 'monitor_cond_since' requests from clients.
