[openstack-dev] [Neutron] [Spec freeze exception] ml2-use-dpdkvhost

Speaking as someone who was reviewing both specs, I would personally
recommend you grant both exceptions.  The code changes are very limited in
scope - particularly the Nova one - which makes the code review simple, and
they're highly unlikely to affect anyone who isn't actually using DPDK OVS
(subject to the Neutron tests for its presence being solid), which makes
them low risk.  For even lower risk, we could have a config option to
enable the test for a CUSE-based binding (and yes, I know earlier in the
review everyone was against config items, but specifically what we didn't
want was *two* config items, one in Nova nd one in Neutron, that only
worked if they were in agreement; one solely in Neutron would, I think, be
acceptable).

All this subject to Sean getting all the CRs out of his spec, and maybe we
could add a spec test for that, because it's a right pain to have specs
full of CRs if you're trying to diff them online...
