Configure OpenStack services with PowerVM support

Registered by Dominique Clain

IBM PowerVM is a hypervisor that the POWER platform supports.
The nova driver (along with a Neutron ML2 compatible agent and ceilometer agent) will provide capability for admins of PowerVM to use OpenStack natively. The PowerVM drivers are opensource and currently being worked in the StackForge community.

This new change proposed will enable deployment and configuration of the PowerVM Nova compute driver, Neutron ML2 agent and Ceilometer compute inspector.
