Neutron should send a VIF attribute to enable hairpinning in Nova

Registered by Sean M. Collins

Currently, Nova's libvirt driver enables hairpinning on the bridge interface which breaks IPv6. We should make this a configurable setting by having Neutron send a VIF attribute that tells Nova to enable it, and the default should be to disable it, to allow IPv6 to function.
