[Openstack] br-tun and br-int bridges in Neutron OVS

Hi,

When OVS plugin is used with GRE option in Neutron, I see that each compute
node has br-tun and br-int bridges created.

I'm trying to understand why we need the additional br-tun bridge here.
Can't we create tunneling ports in br-int bridge, and have br-int relay
traffic between VM ports and tunneling ports directly?  Why do we have to
introduce another br-tun bridge in between?

Thanks,
-hs
