Here's some history from William Tu et al.
https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/2/contributions/107/

Although his aim was not to speed up OVS but to add kernel-independent 
datapath, his experience shows full OVS support by eBPF is very difficult.
Later I discussed this xdp_flow approach with William and we find value 
performance-wise in such a way of partial offloading to XDP. TC is one 
of ways to achieve the partial offloading.
