rhel: Enable DHCP in redhat network scripts.
The current network-script, ifup-ovs does not work well if you enable DHCP on the OVS. It will work if we name the bridge alphabetically greater than the underlying physical interfaces. Even then, it will do multiple DHCP attempts slowing down the boot up process. This patch allows DHCP on an OVS bridge. Signed-off-by: Gurucharan Shetty <gshetty@nicira.com>
