I would add a new Nova API as extension. The related handler function in nova-compute service will run some commands in local physical machine, i.e. the compute node. However, these commands require root privilege to run. Is it possible to let nova-compute service get root privilege for calling these commands?

Nova-compute routinely does things that require root privilege, for example set up Openvswitch bridges. Check out the rootwrap feature.
