[openstack-dev] [gantt] How to include nova modules in unit tests

Well, the first goal is to get the scheduler code into a separate tree, even though that code is still utilizing common code from nova.  Right now just about every scheduler file includes some nova modules.  Ultimately yes, we want to remove the depency on nova but that is a future effort and would create way too many changes for the immediate future.

When we want to cut the cord from nova it'll be easy, just remove that line from the `test-requirements.txt' file and we'll be forced to replace all of the nova code.

The goal though is to have an independent system; perhaps marking all the tests that still depend on tendrils of nova 'skipped' and then work on burning down the skips to 0 is a better approach than making it easy to have such dependencies?
