Ivar Lazzaro ac49921cff [AIM] Bulk extension for ML2Plus 
Improve performance of bulk read operations when using the
AIM driver by implementing a bulk extension mechanism.

Changing the extension driver framework, we can build extension
calls that have visibility over all the networks that need to be
extended, and thus can run bulk queries against the database to
reduce the number of round-trips to a constant.

Every query will still be slower as the number of objects grow,
but with this we cut down the round-trip overhead.

README.rst

Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.

GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.

GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.

GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract and consume complex network service chains and graphs.

Checkout the GBP wiki page for more detailed information: <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GroupBasedPolicy>

GBP project management (blueprints, bugs) is done via Launchpad: <https://launchpad.net/group-based-policy>
