Oh OK I was confusing this with deleting the VM while the compute host 
was down, not detaching the port from the server while the compute was 
down. Yeah I'm not sure what we'd want to do there. We could obviously 
do the same thing we do for VM delete in the API while the compute host 
is down, but could we be leaking things on the compute host in that case 
if the VIF was never properly unplugged? I'd think that is already an 
issue for local delete of the VM in the API if the compute comes back up 
later (maybe there is something in the compute service on startup that 
will do cleanup, I'm not sure off the top of my head).
