Public bug reported:

qemu now supports a network driver called "igb" that simulates SR-IOV
VFs[1]. Current versions of most OS distributions now include a version
of qemu with this driver included.

We would like to use that in the OpenStack gates to test SR-IOV
functionality in Octavia.

Currently nova does not allow the "igb" driver to be specified using "hw_vif_model=igb" because it is not on the list of valid VIF_MODELS here:
https://opendev.org/openstack/nova/src/branch/master/nova/network/model.py#L156

This RFE is a request to add support for the igb driver to nova.

I have also registered a blueprint for this here:
