Title:
  lxc hypervisor does not support PCI devices

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 14.04.02
  OpenStack Kilo
  Hypervisor: LXC

  Nova: 1:2015.1.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0
  libvirt-bin:  Installed: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13~cloud0

  I have lxc powered compute node with TeslaK40 card that I want to passthrough to VM. Tutorials that I used are:
  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Pci_passthrough
  http://docs.openstack.org/kilo/config-reference/content/lxc.html

  I can run simple VMs, however when I try to create VM with PCI then it
  fails.

  Compute Node log:

  I looked into /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
  packages/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py and found out that libvirt does
  not support pci passthrough for other hypervisors except
  (Xen,KVM,QEMU). Is it bug?

  This node originally used KVM, however I could not passthrough PCI successully there, If anybody wants to look into (It would be huge help):
  https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/68667/kvm-pci-passthrough-nvidia-tesla-k40/
  If any data is reqired I will provide it
