Since Red Hat still supports RHEL 5.6 I would argue that latest OVS should also claim to support it.

Mention: 1. that these instructions have been tested with CentOS 7 (which is almost identical distribution to RHEL 7). 2. directory where rpm packages that were just built can be found. 3. mention SElinux implications that could prevent OVS from starting, if not using designated OVS directories.
