Hi,  Everyone

Smart nics management involved Nova, Neutron and Cyborg. After 2 
releases of discussing, coding and reviewing, we have merged Cyborg and 
Neutron support. Nova patches also got lots of attention and had many 
rounds of review, plus several +2.

I hope we could merge Nova patches also in this release. The following 
is the Nova patches topic, individual patches links, and related 
resources links

Now we blocked by lots of comments when reaching to the end of the 
feature freeze. Those comments could be addressed in 2-3 days, then we 
could get 3 more rounds review, very likely we could make it by RC1.

Those comments include:
• functional test -- released already.
• minor typo, text changes, and needs more code comments
• several codes flow refactor request
• how to store arq-uuid
