Bug Description
Existing OVS vif-plugging for libvirt uses tap devices along with <interface type="ethernet"> while running ovs-vsctl outside of libvirt.
This is OK on Ubuntu, but doing this on RHEL/Fedora requires privilege tweaks (e.g., running qemu as root, not dropping capabilities), may not be acceptable for production deployments (see: http://
A new patch to be included in libvirt 0.9.11 is meant to address this issue by having a more integrated approach to OVS + libvirt. We should add support for this type of vif-plugging in Nova.
