Bug Description

Nova-Compute generates guest-XML-definitions with type „ethernet“. There should be an option in nova.conf to choose the VIF type. I suggest "libvirt_quantum_linuxbridge_net_type" for the name of the config option. If the user configures "bridge"-type VIFs Compute should determine the bridge-name and include it into guest-XML-definition.
