[Rdo-list] Compute Node without firewall (iptables) and Linux bridge

Do you use monolithic OVS plugin or ML2 mechanism? If the latter, then
the file is not involved, and you should instead try to change the
value in:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/plugins/ml2/drivers/mech_openvswitch.py

That said, removal of .py file is not enough to make sure it's not
involved since .pyc file is still there and is used when there is no
.py counterpart.
