  which actually links to the old code.  Quick investigation suggests it's
  an addition to flavor to specify the need for a passthrough and to
  libvirt to map a device safely, along with quite a lot of tests.  Looks
  like there's nothing in there to schedule to a machine with a suitable
  available device - and in the case of network cards not all devices are
  equal, since you have to know what they're plugged in to. -- ijw

+ the new implemention will add sr-iov as  an instance_specs, so scheduler

+ -hint param when create instances, this key-value is used for scheduler
+ to choose the server which supports this feather.
