solution considerations

option one has the advantage of confining the change change to os-vif.
option two is the correct approach long term as it dose not require any config change on upgrade.
option three is a compromise as while we do not need to make any change on upgrade we cannot hanel
the case where both datapath have been active on the system as we do not have the authroritve infomation
from neutron to select the datapath.

option one could be implemented in a day or two.
option two would not take much longer to pull together once i figure out exactly where in nova to extend the network object.
option three would be similar to option one in timescale.

option two would require back porting in stable newton in all three project where as option one just requires a requirements change in nova/neutron which would have been needed to use the windows support anyway. option three would be the same as option one in this regard.
