If you do not plan to use NFS through a OVS interface (Trying to mount NFS through a OVS interface will fail if NFS starts before OVS), then you can just use ovs-vsctl to create bridges. The state is maintained across reboots as long as you do not delete the database (But you cannot automatically call dhcp or configure static ip addresses). If you want to configure through /etc/network/interfaces file, there is a README file in the repo: debian/openvswitch-switch.README.Debian. If you use branch 1.10, openvswitch startup script automatically reads the interfaces file and creates bridges. While shutting down, it deletes the bridges.
