The second part. The idea is to start with keeping dhcp disabled while
creating the neutron subnet. Make a API call to neutron to create a
port during container creation (as part of a container network plugin)
and use the IP address and MAC address provided by neutron during port
creation and populate the container network namespace with that
information.
