<div>Hi,</div>
<div>If I understand correctly the only way that this work is with nova and neutron running. My understanding would be to have the CI running with this as the configuration. I just think that this should be a prerequisite similar to having validations of virtualization
drivers.</div>
<div>Does that make sense?</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Thanks, the concern is for the code in Nova and not in Neutron. That is, there is quite a lot of PCI code being added and no way of knowing that it actually
works (unless we trust the developers working on it :)). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
