Given two OVS bridges connected by a patch port, I would like to run
`tcpdump` on either of the patch interfaces to see traffic passing between
the switches. The command runs without error, but doesn't see any of the
expected traffic.

The basic configuration looks something like this:

    ovs-vsctl add-br br0
    ovs-vsctl add-br br1
    ovs-vsctl add-port br0 patch-br1 -- set interface patch-br1 type=patch
options:peer=patch-br0
    ovs-vsctl add-port br1 patch-br0 -- set interface patch-br0 type=patch
options:peer=patch-br1

I want to run `ovs-tcpdump -i patch-br1 -n`, but it doesn't seem to work. I
see the same behavior if I manually set up a mirror port and run `tcpdump`
on it.

Is it possible to set up mirrors for patch ports?
