Just wanted to close the loop on this and mention for anyone in the
Ironic project who wasn't present at the Neutron meeting, that I
suggested this approach. I don't know if it will be the way to achieve

what Ironic is looking for. We just have to see what progress has been
made on the vlan transparent API extension.
