As a general rule one should be using the ovs tools directly wherever
possible and not the brctl compat layer.

This is something which AFAIR differs between upstream Xen and XCP. With
upstream Xen we disable the qemu script explicitly and expect the xen
vif hotplug scripts (which handle Xen tap devices too) to do the job,
that is the scripts under /etc/xen/scripts/vif-foo (for foo in bridge,
openvswitch etc)
