For the uses I've seen of it in the nova api code INFO would be perfectly
fine in place of AUDIT.

I'd be happy to help out with patches to cleanup the logging in n-api.

One other thing to look at - I've noticed with logs is that when something
like glanceclient code (just as an example) is called from nova,
we can get ERROR level messages for say image not found when its actually
perfectly expected that this will occur.
I'm not sure if we should be changing the error level in glanceclient or
just forcing any error logging in glanceclient when
called from Nova to a lower level though.
