While this might not affect that many "production deployments" as we expect that they are probably not running internal API, external, control plane, etc. networks over a bridge that is configured in the neutron-ovs-agent, test environments (like the one featured in this BZ) very possibly would. People evaluating POC deployments that would be affected would also get a poor impression.

To work this out I think we need to:
1 - reproduce the nova try-restart hang in the absence of the API network and get nova looking at it. I *think* this is the broken link as to why this no longer works, so if we can resolve this ...
2 - show that a puppet apply will the ovs agent back and resolve the network connection issues if a service is stuck (like in 1.)
3 - investigate if it's possible to mitigate the situation where the neutron ovs agent is stopped as a side-effect and not restarted. Nova might not be the only service that this happens with.
