vsaienko 8fe320753c Update Ironic VM network connection 
When VM is dirrectly connected to OVS (current setup) there is no port
in OVS when VM is in powered off state. Since Ironic plug port to
network when VM is in powered-off state. Port should be present in OVS
even when VM is powered-off.

This patch adds additional network bridge called br-$VM_NAME for each
VM. Adds additional interface ovs-$VM_NAME which is added to both OVS
and br-$VM_NAME. And configures VM NIC in br-$VM_NAME instead of direct
connection to OVS switch.

Now connection looks like:

               Linux Bridge         OVS
 --------       -----------       ---------
 | vm-1 | <-->  | br-vm-1 | <---> | br-bm |
 --------       -----------       ---------

Ironic

Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.

Project status, bugs and RFEs (requests for feature enhancements) are tracked on Launchpad:
