Public bug reported:

Currently, both the Open vSwitch and Linux Bridge mechanism drivers for
the ML2 plugin have their own agents. This means that when improvements
are made to one agent implementation, they have to be ported over to the
other agent to gain the improvement. This has already happened, with
patches like https://review.openstack.org/#/c/138512/ .  Much of the
functionality that both the OVS and Linux Bridge agents provide is
common enough that much of the code could be shared.

Discussion on the mailing list.
