Nic bonding support for SRIOV ports

Registered by Przemyslaw Czesnowicz

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Support SRIOV bond" for updated plans.

This feature aims to enhance Nova to be able to bond SRIOV network ports to provide HA.
On a request from Neutron Nova would select VF’s from different PF’s and bond them together using libvirt bond interface type.
Request from neutron would hold the count of VF’s required to make the bond and bonding mode.
