SR-IOV network for OpenStack release later than Mitaka requires the
use of the neutron-sriov-agent to support management of SR-IOV PF
and VF interface state by Neutron - said interfaces are still
consumed directly by nova-compute/libvirt via PCI device allocation
scheduling for instances.
Add new configuration options to the neutron-openvswitch charm to
support enablement of the SR-IOV agent; this could have been done
automatically from data presented from neutron-api, but its possible
that cloud deployments may only have subsets of compute nodes that
are SR-IOV enabled in terms of hardware.
Enabling this option ('enable-sriov') will install and configure
the neutron-sriov-agent; configuration of SR-IOV PF's are made
using the 'sriov-numvfs', which by default automatically configures
all SR-IOV devices on every machine to the maximum number of VF's
supported by the device. This option can be used to configure
devices at an individual level as well.
Finally, neutron needs to understand what underlying provider
network each SR-IOV device maps to - this is configured using the
sriov-device-mappings configuration option.
