With ironic servers, a NIC can fail and be replaced with one that has a
different mac. The corresponding neutron port needs to be updated with
the new mac address so the NIC can be guaranteed to retain the same IP
address.
This change enables this feature in the ml2 plugin. There may need to
be changes to other plugins to disable or complete the implementation of
this feature.
