[openstack-dev] [Nova][libvirt] Understand why we lookup libvirt domains by instance name

I note that we use instance.name to lookup the libvirt domain a bunch
in the driver. I'm wondering why we don't just use instance.uuid all
the time -- the code for that already exists. Is there a good reason
to not move to always using the uuid?
I ask because instance.name is not guaranteed to be unique depending
on how weird the nova deployment is.
