I don't think it's will work because You would need to have same interface in 
the ovs bridge (br-provider) and use it by linuxbridge.
But TBH this is a bit strange configuration for me. I can imaging different 
computes which are using different backends. But why You want to use 
linuxbridge and openvswitch agents together on same compute node?
