we're starting from scratch here, we should evaluate the pros and cons of
this decision. It does save some code, but do we envision running OVN with
other ML2 MechanismDrivers at the same time?

Note I'm not necessarily saying I'm in favor of doing a full plugin, only
that we should think about it a bit before deciding which path to take.
