Only the Ironic driver overrides the rebuild method, otherwise the 
compute manager has a default impl, so it's technically implemented for 
all virt drivers. There is also confusion around rebuild vs evacuate 
since both operations go through the rebuild_instance method in the 
compute manager, they are just separated by the 'recreate' parameter.

danpb might have reasons for not listing rebuild in the hypervisor 
support matrix - it might have just never been on the original wiki 
matrix. It'd be worth asking him.

But at the same time, since there is a default implementation, I'm also 
not sure if it's worth listing separately in the support matrix (but is 
also confusing I suppose to not list it at all).
