Supportive to your plan, Rodrigo! We do need some advanced network 
functions for kimchi now.

With open vswitch our network functionality will be enhanced with no doubt,
as open vswitch is targeted for multi-server deploy and to supply more 
flexibility and mobility,
REF:
http://git.openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=WHY-OVS;hb=HEAD

We can add (or enable) this part when we support multi-server deploy so 
that all features can take effect.
But of course, we can start to add some basic support now and just use 
ovs as bridge at present.
