Multiple nics was addressed with this addition:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/using-multi-nics.html

So this bug is 2/3rds done.

I'd like to see "Using OVS" as another added section and "Using Linux Bridging" as another section with diagrams and the corresponding nova-manage or nova commands added for how to connect these networks - think "concept: What is OVS, how is it used in OpenStack Compute, diagrams that show routing" "task:How do I configure Compute to use OVS, How do I ensure VMs are using OVS" and "reference: what are the config options that enable this? what are the corresponding nova or nova-manage commands?"

Yes, this is a very complex topic, only getting more complex with Quantum integration. I'd like to tackle it with:
concept
task
reference

If you can think of what users need you can write new sections addressing OVS and Linux Bridging.
