[Greg Chavez <greg.chavez@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Ken'ichi, thank you again.  You actually had the answer to my problem in
your first reply, but I did not listen.

If you install openvswitch first, it fails dependency checking looking for
"openvswitch-kmod".  However, if you install "kmod-openvswitch" *first*,
the dependency checks for the "openvswitch" rpm passes somehow.

The vagaries of rpms.  If I had time, I'd crack open these rpms and see how
this was possible. Clearly it's not as simple as checking the name of the
rpm.
