* This patch adds the necessary metadata for Nova to provide plugging for the external Agilio OVS ML2 and OS-VIF plugins. * A VIF type for Agilio OVS is added: this is used by the external ML2/mechanism plugin to trigger Nova to call the external OS-VIF plugin. * A virtio-forwarder VNIC type is added. This corresponds to a low-latency vhost-user forwarding process connecting an accelerated VF to a VM. This VNIC type is not intended to be specific to Agilio OVS. * The necessary end-to-end implementation has been verified, with the external plugin hosted at: https://github.com/Netronome/agilio-ovs-openstack-plugin Change-Id: I28315fb12f62dc7d52d099c211086b2b81eca39a Signed-off-by: Jan Gutter <jan.gutter@netronome.com>
