Public bug reported:

Currently, one can set the ip_allocation attribute to "none" on a port
with the neutron API [1] or the python-neutronclient [2].

This is useful for instantiating a VM that doesn't have an IP, and
fixing [3]

However, to be able to read this attribute, the ip_allocation extension
must be enabled, which is not mandatory to set this attribute to "none".

The only way to enable this extension seems to activate the segments
service plugin. However, enabling this service plugin just to be able to
instantiate a VM without an IP is cumbersome.

Moreover, while using the API, the fact that the ip_allocation attribute
can be set to "none", but cannot be read afterward is inconsistent.
