Thank you for the upstream patch, unfortunately upstream doesn't accept pull requests, but you need to use "git send-mail" (a similar approach used for linux kernel). http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/internals/contributing/submitting-patches/
I've contacted alan separately at apevec@gmail.com - I have a change proposed to the pull request, but otherwise I agree with it. If Alan agrees, I can submit with his signoff and my co-author
