[openstack-dev] LBaaS Driver Integration

Hi Pattabi,

Please note that what is proposed in those patches is "plugin-driver"
interface.
"Plugin-driver" is a code that is called by the plugin and in most cases
doesn't do actual device configuration but rather communicates with agent
and may do some additional stuff like device scheduling.

So device inventory will be utilized by such plugin-driver and then device
information is passed to the agent/device driver.

The workflow should be like this:
REST call->plugin -> plugin driver-> device inventory-> plugin driver->
agent/device driver

Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks,
Eugene.
