[openstack-dev] Initiate the discussion for FPGA reconfigurability

Hi Team,

While wrapping up spec for FPGA programmability, I think we still miss
the reconfigurability part of Accelerators

For instance, in the FPGA case, after the bitstream is loaded, a user might
still need to tune the clock frequency, VF numbers, do reset, etc. These
reconfigurations can be arbitory. Unfortunately, none of the APIs we have
right can handle them properly.

I suggest having another spec for a couple of new APIs dedicated
to reconfiguring accelerators.

1. A rest API
2. A driver API

I want to gather more ideas from you guys especially from our vendor folks
:)
