Title:
  DHCP agent creates new instance of driver for each action

Status in neutron:
  New

Bug description:
  Working on rootwrap daemon [0] I've found out that DCHP agent asks for
  root_helper too often. [1] shows traceback for each place where
  get_root_helper is being called.

  It appeared that in [2] DHCP agent creates an instance of driver class
  for every single action it needs to run. That involves both lots of
  initialization code and very expensive dynamic import_object routine
  being run.

  [2] shows that the only thing that changes between driver instances is
  a network. I suggest we make network an argument for every action
  instead to avoid expensive dynamic driver instantiation.
