[Openstack] Structure Hybrid Compute Nodes

We have the same basic problems. We have 4 different types of systems
integrated into our system. They all have different ratios of cpu to
memory, and we have some specialized hardware on one class of nodes.

We ended up setting up a series of chassis specific instance
definitions. We then use the filter scheduler to only accept hosts
with a particular configuration for the associated instance types.
(for example, our large memory nodes will only run instances with the
mem. prefix, and won't run generic instance types or ones for other
hardware types -- it seemed silly to waste large memory resources on
1GB ram vms)

It is pretty simple to write filter rules for the filter scheduler to
set this up. You just need instance types and a hostname convention
that you can use to matchmake.

While this seems a little hacky, it works well.
