Title:
  VMware VC Driver does not honor hw_vif_model from glance

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running nova 2013.1 from ubuntu packages...

  In grizzly we have the ability to set glance metadata for an image but
  the VC driver does not honor hw_vif_model.

  See http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1153470

  example:
  # glance image-update \
  --property hw_disk_bus=ide \
  --property hw_cdrom_bus=ide \
  --property hw_vif_model=e1000 \
  f16-x86_64-openstack-sda

  Created an image in glance and set hw_vif_model=e1000.

  Deploy an instance of this image and set nova-compute to debug.

  In nova-compute.log:

  , {u'instance_uuid': u'72
  58c294-f72b-4374-a70b-6e71733618b3', u'deleted': 0, u'created_at': u'2013-05-22T22:49:28.000000', u'updated_at': None, u'value': u'vmware', u'key': u'image_hypervisor_typ
  e', u'deleted_at': None, u'id': 18692}, {u'instance_uuid': u'7258c294-f72b-4374-a70b-6e71733618b3', u'deleted': 0, u'created_at': u'2013-05-22T22:49:28.000000', u'updated_at': None, u'value': u'e1000', u'key': u'image_hw_vif_model', 

  We can see that the metadata is passed to nova-compute as expected.

  Looking on ESX host that the instance gets deployed on, the Adapter
  Type is always set to Flexible.
