No, the Nova XenServer integration is done through XenAPI which abstracts
the differences between the Linux bridge stack and vSwitch for operations
like creating VLANs.

The exception to that is the port isolation support which configures the
vSwitch directly and that Ewan updated recently. That work is based on the
vSwitch version in XS6.
