Hi, John and all,
I updated the blueprint
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/pci-extra-info-icehouse according
to your feedback, to add the backward compatibility/upgrade issue/examples.
I try to separate this BP with the SR-IOV NIC support as a standalone
enhancement, because this requirement is more a generic PCI pass through
feature, and will benefit other usage scenario as well.
And the reasons that I want to finish this BP in I release are:
a) it's a generic requirement, and push it into I release is helpful to
other scenario.
b) I don't see upgrade issue, and the only thing will be discarded in
future is the PCI alias if we all agree to use PCI flavor. But that effort will
be small and there is no conclusion to PCI flavor yet.
c) SR-IOV NIC support is complex, it will be really helpful if we can
keep ball rolling and push the all-agreed items forward.
Considering the big patch list for I-3 release, I'm not optimistic to
merge this in I release, but as said, we should keep the ball rolling and move
forward.
Thanks
