[neutron] Same physical NIC for SR-IOV and other mechanism driver

Dear all,

Is it possible to use the same physical NIC with the
SR-IOV mechanism driver together with other mechanism
driver like Open vSwitch or Linux Bridge? If this is
the case, how should I map the physical NIC
for each agent?

I only known how to map the NIC separately for
each driver; for example:
- for the Linux bridge agent: physnet1: eth3,
- for the OvS agent: physnet1: br-provider
(eth3 is a port of br-provider)
- for the SR-IOV agent: physnet1: eth3

Any guide or sample reference about implementing
multiple mechanism drivers would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Gabriel Gamero
