[Openstack] Quantum OVS Agent as service

The information you found in the guide you mentioned indicate you want to
use br-eth1 as the uplink for the VMs attached to your network.
However, creating br-eth1 (or whatever is the name of the bridge) is beyond
the scope of Quantum. It is up to who deploys Quantum configure
connectivity on the host appropriately.

Dan's instruction will indeed allow you to create br-eth1, and plug eth1 to
it - this will allow all your vms traffic to be uplinked through that
interface.

Regards,
Salvatore
