IBM System z DPM virtualization driver for OpenStack Nova

Andreas Scheuring 8aef196ad4 Introduce Blockdevice object
This object should simplify the usage of the block_device dictionary
provided by nova. Attributes can now easily be accesed via object
properties and method, instead of doing complex operations on the dict.

This patch does not yet exploit this object. This is done in a follow
up patch.

About this project

This project provides a Nova virtualization driver for the PR/SM hypervisor of IBM z Systems and IBM LinuxOne machines that are in the DPM (Dynamic Partition Manager) administrative mode.

The DPM mode enables dynamic capabilities of the firmware-based PR/SM hypervisor that are usually known from software-based hypervisors, such as creation, deletion and modification of partitions (i.e. virtual machines) and virtual devices within these partitions, and dynamic assignment of these virtual devices to physical I/O adapters.

The z/VM and KVM hypervisors on z Systems and LinuxONE machines are supported by separate Nova virtualization drivers:
