Bug Description

At present Network Interface attributes other then 'ipv4_address', 'mac_address', 'name' are not exposed to user. Setting additional fields obtained during the introspection process as Port's "extra" attribute, would help in identifying the capabilities of the device.
For example if fields like Product and Vendor id obtained during introspection process are exposed as Port's "extra" attribute, would help in identifying, if the device has SR-IOV capabilities or not. Which would help in creating heat template or building images using diskimage builder.

I don't think we should automatically set anything in the 'extra' field. Anyway, if you envision some use for it, please propose a spec.

summary: - setting Port's extra field.
