[openstack-dev] [neutron] [ml2] Configuration file sections for MechanismDrivers

Hey Kyle,

We're currently going with the second option you describe - having separate
configuration files per mechanism driver, and passing these in on the
command line when starting Neutron. This feels much cleaner than putting
all configuration options into the ML2 config file, especially as the
number of mechanism drivers grows.
