Thanks, vish.  Those defaults keep biting ...

We tried changing the default of resume_guests_state_on_host_boot in the
RDO packages at one point, but ended up turning it back off.  I believe
we had some problems with nova-compute trying to start instances before
nova-network was fully initialized, sometimes leaving instances in a
broken state.  That kind of stuff is all fixable though, and if we go
ahead and change the defaults early in Icehouse dev, we should have
plenty of time to deal with any fallout before Icehouse is released.
