Public bug reported:

By integrating DPDK PMD drivers with SR-IOV we can see significant improvement
in NFV workloads. The virtual machines will be attached to hostdev devices
which will allow operators to use more advanced parameters to configure the VF
driver.

The requested changes in vif:
1. The nova manager should generate the vm configuration and adds the hostdev devices and DPDK driver to include the PCI VFs

The requested changes in neutron are:
1. The neutron port profile binding should be exposed to neutron
--binding:profile "{
"VLAN_FILTER": [100],
"MAC_FILTER": ["de:ad:be:ef:co:fe"],
"VLAN_ANTI_SPOOF_CHECK": true,
"BROADCAST_ALLOW": true,
"VLAN_STRIP": true,
"UNKOWN_UNICAST_ALLOW": true,
"MAC_ANTI_SPOOF_CHECK": true,
"INSERT_STAG": true,
"UNKOWN_MULTICAST_ALLOW": true,
"LINK_STATUS": "auto"
}"
2. sr-iov nic agent updates the port information by retrieving the information from the port ID in the request.
3. sr-iov nic agent configures virtual functions by generating a configuration file that IPLEX[1] uses to bind the port[2].
4. IPLEX passes the information to the VF Daemon[3] to complete the requested
operations.
