since kernel 3.10, it's possible to tag vlan by port on linux bridge too.
I had sent patches last year.
Maybe can I have a look with kernel 3.19,to see if it's still working fine ?




superior feature of ovs will be dpdk and vhost-user

I am positive. I guess the same applies to Linux bridge based vlans. I 
am willing to give it a try.

According to Alexandre's post much of this is coming in ovs 2.4 which 
should be available at the time of the release of Proxmox 4.0. 

IMHO ovs is superior for two reasons: 
1) vlans are linked to ports and not to bridges 
2) it more closely resembles the physical world which means simpler to 
grasp 

PS. what is limited bond modes?
