The docs are apparently a little eager for openvswitch support :)

When the Folsom Preview was released, we couldn't release the
openstack-quantum-openvswitch package yet, because the underlying OS
(RHEL 6.3) didn't contain kernel support for OVS.

Our plan is to release that package, and also the openvswitch userspace
package once RHEL 6.4 has released its public beta (which should be very
soon now)

So for the time being, it is not possible to use the RHOS Folsom Preview
with OVS.  But it should be possible to use it with other quantum
plugins if you have the requisite hardware.

So just hold off for a few days, the packages should be there soon :)
