General Host Aggregates
Durring the summit we discussed improving host aggregates in the following ways:
Decouple xen pool additon from host aggreggate
Ensure multi-membership works
Decouple availability zone (either a specific tag or a specific aggregate)
Expose aggregate data to scheduler

Whiteboard
General Host Aggregates will be a group of compute nodes with associated key-value metadata, that can only be managed an admin (with some exceptions). General Host Aggregates provide a mechanism to assign key-value pairs to a group of machines.
* Each Node can have multiple Aggregates
* Each aggregate can have multiple key-value pairs.
* The same key-value pair can be assigned to multiple aggregates
What General Host Aggregates will not cover
* Anything a compute node can automatically report (CPU, hypervisor, etc) will not be covered by General Host Aggregates.
Note: Xen Resource Pools will still work, but the user will be responsible for using them correctly (I.E. Nova will not prevent you from assigning to one node to two Xen Resource Pools) - Approved by Vishy
