I understand where you are coming from, but SYSTEM_ID is always populated
if you use startup scripts to start OVS. So in that case, we are
effectively overwriting it. How about something like this instead? (If you
are happy with it, please consider resubmitting your patch with something
like that.  If you prefer that I go ahead and do that, let me know.)

provide a
