Did you find this post?

I haven't tested wheezy yet, but we've been using a slightly modified
version of the vif-openvswitch script you can find in the post above
since about a year in production with squeeze and backported openvswitch
packages from wheezy.
No bridge compat, the script directly issues openvswitch commands to
attach the virtual interface of the domU to openvswitch. To use it, we
set (vif-script vif-openvswitch) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp.
You can find my version attached, diff it against the other one to see
the changes.
The author of the script chose to encode a specific (access-port) vlan
to use into the bridge parameter of a vif in guest configuration, which
could look like this (I use ovs0 instead of br0 for openvswitch):
vif = [
"vifname=domU-0b-cb,mac=00:16:3e:00:0b:cb,bridge=ovs0.11",
]
It's a bit weird because normally I use the dot-notation for vlan
subinterfaces (like eth0.3) but while trying to fix that (refactoring it
into e.g. bridge=ovs0,tag=11) we quickly discovered that's a pita,
because adding an option name requires hacking around in lots of python
files from xen. Anyway, it works (tm).
I don't know how it fits together with xl instead of xm in Xen 4.1, not
tested yet here.
