Title:
  Log messages from dpdk library overflow and is written as multiple
  lines causing issues for testsuite

Status in dpdk package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in openvswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Open vSwitch system testsuites make assertions based on contents
  of the ovs-vswitchd.log file.

  While attempting to enable the DPDK system tests as part of the
  autopkgtests, we found that currently the log messages from DPDK
  overflow and are written out across multiple lines.

  I find nothing obvious in OVS that causes this, so I wonder if this is
  an issue in DPDK, how we build/relate it in Ubuntu or if OVS needs to
  initialize it differently.

  Example log excerpts:
