This is to enable OpenStack to work on top of XtremIO storage.
Problem description
===================
This is a new Cinder driver that would enable Open Stack to work on top of
XtremIO storage.
The following diagram shows the command and data paths.

Proposed change
===============
2 new volume drivers for iSCSI and FC should be developed, bridging Open stack
commands to XtremIO managment system (XMS) using XMS Rest API.
The drivers should support the following Open stack actions:
* Volume Create/Delete
* Volume Attach/Detach
* Snapshot Create/Delete
* Create Volume from Snapshot
* Get Volume Stats
* Copy Image to Volume
* Copy Volume to Image
* Clone Volume
* Extend Volume
