It is possible that ArchLinux has applied some additional patches into
the release packages. There has been some changes that could have
affected functionality with openvswitch, but I thought they were all old
enough to be included in v2.5. You might want to run a quick test with
the current git repository snapshot and if that is showing different
behavior, try to find the ArchLinux source package to see what changes
it does on top of the upstream release.
