This patch adds support for EC2 security groups using libvirt's nwfilter mechanism, which in turn uses iptables and ebtables on the individual compute nodes.
This has a number of benefits: * Inter-VM network traffic can take the fastest route through the network without our having to worry about getting it through a central firewall. * Not relying on a central firewall also removes a potential SPOF. * The filtering load is distributed, offering great scalability. Caveats: * It only works with libvirt and only with libvirt drivers that support nwfilter (qemu (and thus kvm) and uml, at the moment)
