The hypervisor hosts the VMs, yes, but the component that sits between
the hypervisor and the rest of nova―that is, nova-compute―does not
necessarily reside on the hypervisor.  It is the nova-compute node
(which may be either a VM or a physical host) that is referred to by the
nova term "host".  For KVM, I believe the host is often the same as the
hypervisor, meaning that nova-compute runs directly on the hypervisor…
but this is not necessarily the case for all virt drivers.  For example,
the host for Xen-based installations is often a separate VM on the same
hypervisor, which would have its own distinct IP address.
