By the way, by using the ml2-conf.ini instead of the
ovs_neutron_plugin.ini and giving only the limited value that was paster
from the latter to the former; you are depriving the readers who are not
familiar with opevswitch agent of other configurations needed to fine tune
and customize the agent.

eg:
polling interval
vxlan_udp_port
integration_bridge name
tunnel_bridge name
....
..

Until OVS plugin in removed and the agent code (and ini file relocated),
 OVS agent should still be based on ovs_neutron_plugin.ini.

(Not to mention starting up OVS agent with ml2-conf.ini as is which has
absolutely no relevance to the agent's workings at all)
