I'm going to come down in favor of this option. It's the shortest path
to getting something viable working, in a way that is simple to
understand, despite lacking magical DWIM-ness.

We (Placement team) are still trying to figure out how to manage
concepts like "resourceless request groups" and "traits/aggregates flow
down". But for now, Nova is still always modeling VCPU/MEMORY_MB and
traits on the root provider, so let's simply hit the providers in the
aggregate (i.e. the root compute host RPs).

I'm putting this on the agenda for Thursday's nova meeting [1] to
hopefully get some more Nova opinions on it.
