Support SRIOV bond
In the NFV field, many scenes need L2 redundant for SR-IOV. But current
nova or neutron solutions for L2 bond is usually configured multiple
neutron ports and allocate different VFs on different physical network
adapters to implement this.
For example:

The two BP above all mention the demand about L2 redundant for SR-IOV. Both of
them give a solution how to allocate VFs in different PFs to meet the demand of
L2 redundant.
But these BPs have some limits in the following areas:
1. The bond port is one logic port, but both BP need to create two or more
neutron ports in a VM. These member ports can not have same mac under
neutron mac conflict check. So we must turn off VF spoof checking,
otherwise, there will be some problem when the member ports switch. But
if we turn off VF spoof checking, data traffic on VF will be overflowing,
and it affects the performance of packets forwarding.
2. How to manage the mode of bond ports? The mode of bond can be "active-backup" or
"balance-tcp" or "balance-slb". We need a mechanism to maintain the status
of bond port and its members port.
3. IF we get a mechanism to maintain the mode of bond ports(PFs) on compute node, how
to feed back the status of bond PFs to bond nics in VM.
So there should be a solution to use just one neutron port for two or more
VFs on different PFs if we need bond sriov port.
It needs to add a bond port(its mode can be "active-backup" or "balance-tcp" or "balance-slb") using SR-IOV NICs. It's just **one port** logically, but support HA. When create a VM with the bond logic port, we use two SR-IOV Virtual Functions (VFs) in two different Physical Functions (PFs).
