[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH V2] Add OVS bridges recognition support

[Lucio Correia]

Allow bridged networks to be created from OVS bridges, and
adapt VM XML to work with OVS networks.

In some distributions, i.e. Fedora, the directories "bridge"
and "brif" are not created for OVS bridges, and they are the
method Kimchi uses to detect bridges. This patch also fixes
that by recognizing OVS bridges through OVS commands,
allowing networks to be created using OVS bridges in those
distributions.
