I'd apreciate a more detailed feature definition. Vdsm (and ovirt) try
to configure only thing that are needed for their own usage. What do you
want to control? When? You're welcome to draf a feature page prior to
coding the fix ;-)

That's on our immediate roadmap. Soon, vdsm-hook-ovs would be ready for
testing.
