Title:
  [RFE] support a port-behind-port API

Status in neutron:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This RFE requests a unified API for a port-behind-port behaviour. This
  behaviour has a few use-cases:

  * MACVLAN - Identify that a port is behind a port using Allowed
  Address Pairs, and identifying the behaviour based on MAC.

  * HA Proxy behind Amphora - Identify that a port is behind a port
  using Allowed Address Pairs and identifying the behaviour based on IP.

  * Trunk Port (VLAN aware VMs) - Identify that a port is behind a port
  using the Trunk Port API and identifying the behaviour based on VLAN
  tags.

  This RFE proposes to extend the Trunk Port API to support the first
  two use-cases. The rationale is that in an SDN environment, it makes
  more sense to explicitly state the intent, rather than have the
  implementation infer the intent by matching Allowed Address Pairs and
  other existing ports.

  This will allow implementations to handle these use cases in a
  simpler, flexible, and more robust manner than done today.
