Ironic added support for physical network awareness [1] in the pike
release. With multiple physical networks it is possible that each
physical network extends over a subset of the devices in a network.
Further, the segmentation ID space on different physical networks may
overlap.

This change adds support for configuration of a set of physical networks
on each switch. On neutron network creation and deletion, NGS will only
(de)provision VLANs on devices tagged with that network's physical
network. If a device is not tagged with any physical networks, the old
behaviour of provisioning all networks on all devices is used.

Configuration of physical networks is be via a new per-device config
option, ngs_physical_networks:

[genericswitch:switch1]
device_type = acme
ip = 1.2.3.4
username = bob
password = drowssap
ngs_physical_networks = physnet1,physnet2
