In the BP you wrote: "The only downside I see of moving this logic into 
nova-api is that we would slow down the response time from nova-api to 
provision instances."

This can be addressed by nova prefetching quantum ports. When nova needs 
a port is can be retrieved from a cached pool. This may be a way of 
addressing this at a later stage if the nova api is indeed a bottleneck 
when it comes to the quantum interface (please note that this currently 
happens on the compute node at the moment)

Thanks
