On a Citrix Xenserver system where linux bridge has been replaced in favor of Open vSwitch, lldpd seems to attempt to load the bridge kernel module.

When executed with flags to only care about receiving of lldp frames, specifically with runtime flags of "-i -k -r -I" the follow messages get dumped:

localhost kernel: bridge: exports duplicate symbol br_should_route_hook (owned by openvswitch_mod)
localhost modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting bridge (/lib/modules/2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs5.6.100.323.170596xen/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko): Invalid module format

Is there something that can be configured to prevent this action from taking place? Thanks!
