OpenStack Compute (nova)

Add support for Napatech LinkVirtualization SmartNICs

Registered by Justas Poderys

Napatech LinkVirtualization SmartNICs offload network traffic switching, QoS, and tunnel encapsulation/decapsulation functions from the OVS running on the hypervisor to the on-board silicon. This patch updates the Nova source code to include support for a new VIF type corresponding to the virtual devices exposed by the LinkVirtualization SmartNIC.
