Yes, the OVN plugin will implement the normal provider networks API.
It's a WIP.

My first goal was to just implement support for "--provider:network_type
flat" end to end.  I have the OVN side merged and now I'm working on the
Neutron plugin piece.  Once that's done, I'll go back add add VLAN
support, which shouldn't be very difficult at that point.  I'm aiming to
have all of that done by the Tokyo summit (among other things).
