this it for the Neutron SRIOV, a physical netowrk is a attribute added 
to a pci device. if you want allocated a nic from pci, you must ensure 
we get a PCI device which does connect to the correct physical network 
as same as Neutron defined.

yes.

yes. but not mean the pci_flavor is separated from normal flavor, the 
flavor is the original alias with api support. we rename to pci_flavor 
because it's just for pci and the flaovr things much more OS style.

hope help you.
