[Openstack] Getting DevStack networking working

If you are running on recent Ubuntu it appears that you basically need 
MULTI_HOST=True set for guest routing to work. Otherwise vhost_net 
corrupts the checksums of the dhcp packets, and you're kind of done.

Been trying to narrow this down as far as possible the last couple of 
days (as I have some environments where this works, and some where it 
doesn't), but I still don't have a specific narrow work around for it 
other than turning on MULTI_HOST.
