I prepared them here, it would be great if you could double check:

https://github.com/dceara/ovn/tree/refs/heads/tmp-branch-24.03
https://github.com/dceara/ovn/tree/refs/heads/tmp-branch-23.09
https://github.com/dceara/ovn/tree/refs/heads/tmp-branch-23.03
https://github.com/dceara/ovn/tree/refs/heads/tmp-branch-22.12
https://github.com/dceara/ovn/tree/refs/heads/tmp-branch-22.09
https://github.com/dceara/ovn/tree/refs/heads/tmp-branch-22.06
https://github.com/dceara/ovn/tree/refs/heads/tmp-branch-22.03

I skipped main and branch-24.09 because those are already on the latest
OVS v3.4.z.

We should, you're right, I'll prepare a patch.

I think this is not the common case so maybe we can leave it flexible
for now.
