Thank you very much. :)

Yes, I noticed that. And I was trying to do the same thing in libvirt 
driver.
But after digging into the code, I found that we can do this totally in
nova compute.

So the latest plan is to implement a common one in compute as the
default handling. Xen implemented its own version, that is OK. For those
drivers who don't have one, they can use the default one.

You can also refer to the v1 patch set. I think code is the best 
description.

Please let me know your latest idea. And I'd like to help.

Thanks.
