Hi Seán, Michael,

Since patch [1] moved Contrail VIF plugging under privsep, Nova fails to
plug TAP on the Contrail software switch (named vrouter) [2]. I proposed a
fix in the beginning of the year [3] but it still pending approval even it
got a couple of +1 and no negative feedback. It's why I'm writing that
email to get your attention.
That issue appeared during the Queens development cycle and we need to fix
that before it was released (hope we are not to late).
Contrail already started to move on os-vif driver [4]. A first VIF type
driver is there for DPDK case [5], we plan to do the same for the TAP case
in the R release and remove the Nova VIF plugging code for the vrouter.
