* 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:

features:
|
|
- The ``VNIC_VIRTIO_FORWARDER`` VNIC type has been added to portbindings.
|
|
This VNIC type is intended to request a low-latency virtio port inside the
|
|
instance, likely backed by hardware acceleration. Currently the Agilio OVS
|
|
external plugin provides support for this, with support from other vendors
|
|
following soon.
