We had multiple users requesting the ability to set the gateway of
display networks. Without it, spice/vnc clients cannot sit outside of
the ovirt network, which kinda hampers the whole point of spice, being a
really-remote desktop protocol.

People are hacking initscripts' route-* and rule-* files below Vdsm's
feet to enable this. That's not healthy. This feature is all about
automating this, and allowing it to inegrate with dynamic addresses
properly.

The stated date 2013-06-09 of beta readiness is a bit agressive, but I
am confident that this feature would be ready for the now-postponed date
of ovirt-3.3 (check point at 2013-06-15).

Nonetheless, we do need proper review and discussion of the suggested
feature. If something nasty pops up during the review, I would have to
reconsider.
