Ports now have a ``hints`` attribute, in which backend specific
tuning options can be passed to Neutron. The availability of the
``hints`` attribute is signaled by the ``port-hints`` extension.
The ``hints`` attribute is admin-only by default. Its value is a
dict, keyed by mechanism driver aliases. The possible values are
defined by the mechanism drivers. An admin user can ask for a
hint in a port create or update request. As the name suggests a
hint is not a demand - Neutron applies the hint when it can, but
it is free to ignore it, when it can't.
