openvswitch is simply an interface which provides the ability to programmatically configure your network devices.

You could run it on OpenSwitch as the program/module which talks with a controller.

More so, there's already a white box switch that runs it, Pica8 switch is basically a Debian distro with OVS and proprietary drivers.
