Public bug reported:

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1405131 for an equivalent bug
in ironic that describes the issue.

The bug itself resides in nova, but requires cooperation from ironic in
order to fix it.

I have attached a patch that we are using internally to resolve the
issue. It requires that ironic ports are tagged with the name of the
'physical_network' to which they are attached. The name maps directly to
neutron's 'provider:physical_network' network property. The tag is added
as a key/value in the ironic ports' 'extra' metadata.

The nova patch requires some further work before submission as it is a
little hairy in places. In particular, the return value for
macs_for_instance really deserves it's own type, representing the
physical ports. Perhaps this would actually be better as a new method
entirely as the name no longer fully describes the method.
