[openstack-dev] [nova][pci]PCI SR-IOV use cases initial doc

I think writing this up as a nova-spec is going to make this process
much easier:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints#Nova

It will save you having to re-write your document once you want to
submit a blueprint, and we can all see each others comments in gerrit,
and more clearly see how things change and evolve. The way the
template in nova-spec works, it should aslo help you with structuring
your argument.

Please don't design assuming a single vendor solution, that is sure to
get rejected (at least my me) at the blueprint review stage. You might
want a different vendor in each AZ to isolate you from failures due to
vendor bugs, if you are digging for a use case.

I still can't see a clear description of the "tenant" use cases, I
still think thats the key to getting agreement here, and getting
useful feedback at the summit. Not sure I understand the tables, they
seem a bit confusing/distracting.
