[ovs-dev] [bug] failed to add ovs bridge

[fukaige]

I start a vm with its backend tap device "vnet0" attached to a Linux bridge, then delete the bridge and vm.
Next time, vm will start failed. this is as expected. But, seeing that linux bridge was already delelted; 
there is no reason that the OVS bridge with the same name can not be created. What do you think?

Thanks
