Laura Moore e5c5ddbdc8 Add portgroups to support LAG interfaces - net
Ironic should be able to provide the requisite connectivity
information to the Neutron ML2 plugin to allow drivers to
provision the top-of-rack switch for the bare metal server.
The addition of portgroups in Ironic allows the concept of
link aggregation to be handled in Ironic in order to provide
support for cases where multiple interfaces on the bare metal
server connect to switch ports of a single LAG.

This commit includes changes to:
- the port vif mapping to also use portgroups

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 blueprints are tracked on Launchpad:
