This patch adds the driver API interfaces for the virtual network interface API in order to abstract the task of assigning logical network interfaces to physical network interfaces. Since the OpenStack Newton release, Ironic provides an interface for pluggable network implementations. Different network implementations may want to handle how logical to physical network interface assignment happens. To do this the new API calls into new functions on the network implementation loaded for the specified node. This is part 1 of 3, and adds four new functions vif_attach, vif_detach, vif_list, port_changed, portgroup_changed, get_current_vif to the base network interface class, which should be overridden by network interface implementations. DHCP provider update_mac_address method was deprecated, network interface port_changed() and portgroup_changed() should be used instead.

Ironic
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
