Nova Compute Cells

Registered by Tom Fifield

This blueprint introduces the new nova-cells service.

The aims of the service are:

   * to separate cell scheduling from host scheduling

There are still some patches in the queue at the time of this update, but they are not core cells functionality that's required. They just enable some additional optional functionality, which is going to be an ongoing process. Chris says that we can mark the blueprint as Implemented now. Woooohoooo! --Russell
