Bug Description

OVS hardware offload was originally intended to be a feature used by normal users. But bugfix https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/499203 for bug #1713590 removed the ability for non-admins to use OVS hardware offload without changing neutron default policy in a non-secure manner: "switchdev" capability must be added to port binding profile after port is created.

At the same time, libvirt node device driver reports "switchdev" capability and we can translate it from NIC PCI device object to port binding profile when port is attached.
