This section is about checking dpdk, we can focus on just its version.
Then update the version to 18.11.1 in the commands output.

Fixes: 03f3f9c0faf8 ("dpdk: Update to use DPDK 18.11.")
Fixes: b5355b0d6e66 ("dpdk: Use DPDK 18.11.1 release.")

Hi David,

thanks for this. I had submitted a similar change originally in the v2 
for supporting 18.11 as you have above, but the feedback was to drop the 
change as we could run into a case where on the master branch we support 
a DPDK version that is different to what the latest OVS release supports

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1011038/

As this is just an example command, the consensus seemed to be it was ok 
to leave it as is.

The DPDK version wasn't listed before OVS 2.10 release, so an 
alternative approach  could be to tag that this was introduced in OVS 
2.10 using the version changed tag

.. versionchanged:: 2.10.0

and flag above is an example output, users should check the mapping of 
OVS to DPDK using the OVS release faq (that will be kept up to date for 
the latest DPDK release anyhow). Thoughts?

Regards
Ian

I had the impression I had already read something but could not find the
mail...
Thanks.

In the paragraph before we mention that the user can check ovs-vswitchd
logs without quoting an actual output.
So we might as well remove the example outputs of those two commands.

Agreed, avoids the issue all together, I'd still like to see the version 
change tag just to flag that the commands listed above only output DPDK 
version from OVS 2.10 onward, otherwise someone using 2.9 or prior may 
not be aware the commands do not output DPDK version for those releases.
