initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo. For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code, and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it. For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment. And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be put into 'ci' directory. Change-Id: I46a32218884c75dda2936337604ff03c554648e4 Signed-off-by: Qiaowei Ren <qiaowei.ren@intel.com>

+=========================================
+ Install Virtualization for Block Device
+=========================================
+
+If you intend to use Ceph Block Devices and the Ceph Storage Cluster as a
+backend for Virtual Machines (VMs) or :term:`Cloud Platforms` the QEMU/KVM and
+``libvirt`` packages are important for enabling VMs and cloud platforms.
+Examples of VMs include: QEMU/KVM, XEN, VMWare, LXC, VirtualBox, etc. Examples
+of Cloud Platforms include OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, etc.

+
+Install QEMU
+============
+
+QEMU KVM can interact with Ceph Block Devices via ``librbd``, which is an
+important feature for using Ceph with cloud platforms. Once you install QEMU,
+see `QEMU and Block Devices`_ for usage.
+
+
+Debian Packages
+---------------
+
+QEMU packages are incorporated into Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin and later
+versions. To install QEMU, execute the following::
+
+ sudo apt-get install qemu
+
+
+RPM Packages
+------------
+
+To install QEMU, execute the following:
+
+
+#. Update your repositories. ::
+
+ sudo yum update
+
+#. Install QEMU for Ceph. ::
+
+ sudo yum install qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-tools qemu-img
+
+#. Install additional QEMU packages (optional)::
+
+ sudo yum install qemu-guest-agent qemu-guest-agent-win32
+
+
+Building QEMU
+-------------
+
+To build QEMU from source, use the following procedure::
+
+ cd {your-development-directory}
+ git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
+ cd qemu
+ ./configure --enable-rbd
+ make; make install
+
+
+
+Install libvirt
+===============
+
+To use ``libvirt`` with Ceph, you must have a running Ceph Storage Cluster, and
+you must have installed and configured QEMU. See `Using libvirt with Ceph Block
+Device`_ for usage.
+
+
+Debian Packages
+---------------
+
+``libvirt`` packages are incorporated into Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin and
+later versions of Ubuntu. To install ``libvirt`` on these distributions,
+execute the following::
+
+ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
+
+
+RPM Packages
+------------
+
+To use ``libvirt`` with a Ceph Storage Cluster, you must have a running Ceph
+Storage Cluster and you must also install a version of QEMU with ``rbd`` format
+support. See `Install QEMU`_ for details.
+
+
+``libvirt`` packages are incorporated into the recent CentOS/RHEL distributions.
+To install ``libvirt``, execute the following::
+
+ sudo yum install libvirt
+
+
+Building ``libvirt``
+--------------------
+
+To build ``libvirt`` from source, clone the ``libvirt`` repository and use
+`AutoGen`_ to generate the build. Then, execute ``make`` and ``make install`` to
+complete the installation. For example::
+
+ git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git
+ cd libvirt
+ ./autogen.sh
+ make
+ sudo make install
+
+See `libvirt Installation`_ for details.
