Just as an update: I am working with Jay V on a set of patches to drop the oversized packets at the openvswitch/bridge level to prevent the crash I mentioned.
But that is not sufficient to solve the underlying problem: there will still be packet loss when there's an MTU mismatch here. A device in AIX with a 64k MTU being bridged (via openvswitch or a native bridge) to a device with a 1500 or 9000 byte MTU is never going to work reliably and efficiently, and IBM will need to figure out how they want to solve this.
