The current network-script, ifup-ovs does not work well if you
enable DHCP on the OVS. It will work if we name the bridge
alphabetically greater than the underlying physical interfaces.
Even then, it will do multiple DHCP attempts slowing down the boot
up process.
This patch allows DHCP on an OVS bridge.
