[pve-devel] [PATCH v3 pve-common 5/5] Inotify : add mtu option

Not sure if this is relevant here: An OVS bridge automatically adjusts
its MTU to the smallest MTU of all childs. This adjusting is done
whenever an interface/port is added or removed. Ie adding an interface
with small MTU automatically lowers the MTU of the OVS bridge.

Hence, it actually does not make sense to set the MTU of a OVS bridge,
as the next time an port is added/removed it will be recalculated.
