There are two in-tree options for the xenserver.vif_driver, the bridge driver and the ovs driver. The XenAPI subteam has confirmed that the bridge driver is for nova-network (which is deprecated) and the ovs driver is for Neutron, and that's how things are tested in CI. Since we changed the default on use_neutron to be True for Ocata we need to change the default on the vif_driver to be the ovs driver so it works with the default config, which is Neutron. We're deprecating the option though since we can use the use_neutron option to decide which vif driver to load - which will make deploying and configuring nova with xen as the backend simpler.
