Title:
  libvirt error when create VM with 2 NICs under DevStack

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) icehouse series:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Under a stock DevStack setup on bare metal, I started stack.sh, which
  creates a public network (w/o DHCP) and a private network (with DHCP)
  and a router.  On the host I created a br-ex and added eth3 to the
  bridge. The public network is connected via a physical switch, to
  another host (also running Devstack).

  I am able to create VMs, and ping between them, and I can also (with
  the new VPNaaS feature under development) ping VMs over the public
  (provider?) network.

  If I create a VM (seen this with cirros and others) and specify the
  private network, or create a VM with the public network, they launch
  fine. However, if I try to boot an instance with two NICs, the launch
  fails:

   localnet=`neutron net-list | grep private | cut -f 2 -d'|' | cut -f 2 -d' '`
   nova boot --image cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-uec --flavor 1 mary --nic net-id=$localnet
   
  pubnet=`neutron net-list | grep public | cut -f 2 -d'|' | cut -f 2 -d' '`
  nova boot --image cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-uec --flavor 1 peter --nic net-id=$pubnet

  nova boot --image cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-uec --flavor 1 paul --nic net-
  id=$localnet --nic net-id=$pubnet

  Looking at the logs, I see that the screen-n-cpu.log reports an error
  and has a traceback:

  There is no DHCP server on the public network, but there is one on the
  local network.

  This is consistently reproducible and occurs with other image types.

  The nova code is off the master branch (havana) with the SHA1 of
  86c97ff from 6 days ago.
