Sundar Nadathur 95e01e6d38 Update driver section.
Apart from FPGA and GPU, we support other device types
today and will add more in the future.

Most of the operations are common to the drivers we support.
For example, all drivers support device discovery, VM
creation/deletion, etc. None of them support firmware/shell
update today.

Also, we need to include the supported product families and
any special notes for the driver.

So this update removes the per-device-type files for FPGA
and GPU, and instead adds per-driver notes.

Cyborg Support Matrix

Cyborg supports specific operations on VMs with attached accelerator resources, which are generally a subset of the full set of VM operations supported by Nova (nova-vm-ops).

In this release, these operations have a dependency on specific Nova patches (nova-patches). They can be expected to work in Cyborg only if and when these Nova patches get merged without significant changes. These operations are not supported in this release since the dependencies are not met.

VM Operations Expected to Work With Nova Dependencies
VM Operation Command
VM creation openstack server create
VM deletion openstack server delete
Reboot within VM ssh to VM and reboot in OS
Soft reboot openstack server reboot --soft
Pause/Unpause openstack server pause, openstack server unpause
Lock/Unlock openstack server lock, openstack server unlock

Operations not listed here may or may not work.

Driver Support

The list of drivers available as part of the Cyborg distribution at the time of release can be found in: cyborg.accelerator.driver section of Cyborg's setup.cfg

The following table provides additional information for individual drivers.
