Balazs Gibizer cd03bbc1c3 Record SRIOV PF MAC in the binding profile
Today Nova updates the mac_address of a direct-physical port to reflect
the MAC address of the physical device the port is bound to. But this
can only be done before the port is bound. However during migration Nova
does not update the MAC when the port is bound to a different physical
device on the destination host.

This patch extends the libvirt virt driver to provide the MAC address of
the PF in the pci_info returned to the resource tracker. This
information will be then persisted in the extra_info field of the
PciDevice object.

Then the port update logic during migration, resize, live
migration, evacuation and unshelve is also extended to record the MAC of
physical device in the port binding profile according to the device on
the destination host.

The related neutron change Ib0638f5db69cb92daf6932890cb89e83cf84f295
uses this info from the binding profile to update the mac_address field
of the port when the binding is activated.

As a fix for `bug 1942329 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1942329>`_
nova now updates the MAC address of the ``direct-physical`` ports during
mova operations to reflect the MAC address of the physical device on the
destination host. Those servers that were created before this fix need to be
moved or the port needs to be detached and the re-attached to synchronize the
MAC address.
