Open Stack

The main barrier to this is that we need to stop using the
'external_network_bridge = br-ex' option for the L3 agent and define a
bridge mapping on the L2 agent. Otherwise the external network is treated
as a special case and the VMs won't actually be able to get wired into the
external network.
