[openstack-qa] Adding Docker in devstack-gate tests

Hi all,

Docker is a runtime for running Linux Containers (www.docker.io).

There is currently a code review in progress to add Docker as a Nova
hypervisor. In order to support functional tests for it, I am adding
Docker support into devstack, basically the service would be disabled
by default (and could be enabled by "enable_service docker" in
localrc).

However, I am facing 2 requirements because of Docker:

1/ First, Docker has a daemon needed to be root on the machine in
order to be run.

2/ Docker needs a kernel with AUFS support (which is the case with
ubuntu standard kernel for instance).

Is one of this requirement (or both) a deal breaker to run Docker in
Jenkins tests (through devstack)?

Thanks for the help.
