I guess that you should debug it.  If you find a fix, please report it
to the Xen maintainers, if it's a bug in Xen, or to
b...@openvswitch.org if it's a bug in Open vSwitch.

It's difficult to act on feedback like the above, since it doesn't
actually state what the problem is.

If the Xen scripts you are using assume that the Linux bridge is in
use, then you will have to adapt them to use Open vSwitch natively or
use bridge compatibility.

Open vSwitch 1.9 will be the last release that includes bridge
compatibility support.  It will not be in later releases.

No.
