After going deeper into recent network mtu feature, it appeared that it
solves this issue by allowing to configure mtu for the external network.

Title:
  Add config option that allows separate configuration of router and
  gateway interfaces

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  There is an option to configure mtu for interfaces created by L3 agent, however when setting up jumbo frames on instances, there could be a problem with outbound packets going from the subnet with jumbos to router interface on the subnet.
  Depending on the OVS version such packets could be damaged/dropped which effectively prevents VMs from having external connectivity.

  The issue is not in IP packet fragmentation on the gateway interface,
  but rather with OVS handling jumbos on qr- interface.

  We need to allow setting MTU for qr- interface, while preserving MTU
  on qg-
