[systemd-devel] nspawn and ovs bridges

Hello,
My use case is the following: make a test of routing protocols without
having... enough real hardware. I decided to do that via containers
using systemd-nspawn, and because I may need many interconnected
networks and things like qos settings applied without dirty scripts, I
decided to try openvswitch for bridge management.
The problem here is that systemd-nspawn does not really support adding
the created veth interface to the ovs bridge, even for the so called
fake bridge, because it says "operation not supported". Same happens if
I try to do ip link set iface master fakebridge.
How to deal with that situation correctly? Any ideas?
