Currently ovn-controller controls the OpenFlow flows of the
internal bridge br-int through the default service controller
of the <bridge>.mgmt management port.  That connection is not
visible to the bridge's fail-open/fail-secure state machine:
ofproto_is_alive() only tracks primary controllers, so OVS
cannot distinguish a live ovn-controller from a dead one.

Register a primary OpenFlow controller on br-int pointing at a
passive listener, punix:<rundir>/br-int.ovn-primary, and make
the ofctrl, pinctrl, statctrl, and feature-discovery software
connections dial that endpoint instead of the .mgmt port.
Making the connection a primary controller lets the bridge's
fail-open/fail-secure state machine and ofproto_is_alive()
track the ovn-controller connection.

The primary target is derived from the same endpoint
br_int_remote_update() dials, so the value of
external_ids:ovn-bridge-remote is honored.  A primary
controller is a listener hosted by ovn-controller, which
only applies to local unix: and punix: endpoints; for remote
tcp: and ssl: endpoints the operator configures the primary
listener separately (e.g. with "ovs-vsctl set-controller").
Passive inet targets use a "[<port>][:<host>]" layout, so
the active scheme cannot be swapped onto them.

To avoid racing the socket creation, the first connection to
the primary endpoint is deferred until ovs-vswitchd applies
the commit that registers the controller, which is the change
that creates the punix listener.  The Open_vSwitch next_cfg
and cur_cfg protocol, the same one ovs-vsctl --wait relies
on, is reused for this: when a new primary controller is
registered, next_cfg is incremented in the same transaction,
and all the software connections that dial the primary
endpoint are held back until cur_cfg advances past the
pre-increment value.  The wait is only armed when a new
primary controller is inserted (local unix/punix endpoints);
when a matching controller already exists, or the endpoint is
remote (tcp/ssl), the connections dial immediately.

Note that upgrading to this release adds the first primary
controller to an existing br-int, which causes OVS to flush
the OpenFlow tables; ovn-controller reinstalls them on the
next run.  With fail_mode=secure, br-int traffic on that
chassis is dropped for the reinstall window.

 Post v26.09.0
 --------------
+   - ovn-controller now controls the OpenFlow flows of the br-int
+     integration bridge through a primary OpenFlow controller that it
+     registers on the bridge (target "punix:<run_dir>/br-int.ovn-primary"),
+     instead of the service controller of the br-int.mgmt management
+     port.  This lets the bridge's fail-open/fail-secure state machine
+     track the ovn-controller connection.  When
+     external_ids:ovn-bridge-remote is a local unix: or punix: target, the
+     primary controller listens on the same socket ovn-controller dials;
+     for a remote tcp: or ssl: target the operator must configure the
+     primary controller separately, e.g. with "ovs-vsctl
+     set-controller br-int ptcp:<port>".
+   - Note that upgrading to this release adds the first primary
+     controller to an existing br-int, which causes OVS to flush the
+     OpenFlow flow, group, and meter tables.  ovn-controller reinstalls
+     them on its next run; with fail_mode=secure, br-int traffic on the
+     chassis is dropped for that window.
    - Removed implementations of the commit_ecmp_nh, chk_ecmp_nh, and
      chk_ecmp_nh_mac actions from the code.
    - Mark tunnel ports as transient (other_config:transient=true) when the
