Public bug reported:

The routed-networks feature introduced changes to create mapping entries
linking hosts to segments [1].  That feature assumes that only a single
L2 agent will be reporting device mappings to physical networks.  If
multiple agents are running (e.g., OVS + SRIOV) then the
"segmenthostmappings" tuples which are created by a first agent
reporting state are overwritten when subsequent agents report state.

The segments data model and agent update callbacks [2] do not handle
cases where multiple L2 agents are present on a node.

The configuration to reproduce this is simple. Create a compute node
where the OVS agent reports interface mappings to physnet0 and the SRIOV
agent reports device mappings to physnet1. Then create a network with
provider:physical_network=physnet1, and then another network with
provider:physical_network=physnet0.  Those networks will each create a
NetworkSegment entry.  Then restart the OVS agent.  This will cause the
segmenthostmappings table to be overwritten with only those segments
accessible via the OVS agent.  Then restart the SRIOV agent.  This will
cause the segmenthostmappings table to be overwritten with only those
segments accessible via the SRIOV agent.

This impacts the scheduling of DHCP networks and IP address allocations
for networks that have routed segments enabled.
