[PVE-User] mixed linux bridges and openvswitch

[David Lawley]

Ok works for me.  So with this logic I should be able to shut down said 
machine, remove nics, migrate to other host.  Then restart, replace 
nics/drivers.

I think I have tried this, but just sounding off right now.  Bit puzzled 
why vmbr0 worked on both.. just affected vmbr1.
