[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] [Kimchi 1/5] VEPA network support: API and i18n changes

[dhbarboza82 at gmail.com]

From: Daniel Henrique Barboza <dhbarboza82 at gmail.com>

This patch includes API and message changes to support
VEPA networks in Kimchi:

- API.json: added 'vepa' as a valid connection in the networks
API

- docs/API.md: added 'vepa' as a valid connection in the networks
API. A new attribute called 'vepa_devs' was created to declare
one or more VEPA physical devices.

- i18n.py: changed one message and added an additional message.
