Bug Description
The patch [0] added validations to the DHCP options passed to OVN via the Neutron API because, not all existing DHCP options are supported by the OVN DHCP.
Some projects such as Ironic uses a dnsmasq syntax when passing those options, for example [1]: "tag:ipxe,<option name>". Which is not understood by the OVN driver for Neutron causing the validation to fail the API request.
But by failing the API request we also break the combination of using Ironic + OVN + Neutron DHCP agent, where the agent is able to understand that syntax and boot the baremetal instances via the network.
Due to that problem, I believe the OVN driver should stop failing the API request for the options it doesn't understand and instead log an error message so that it's visible to the cloud operator.
