    and using the libvirt driver.

    Visible API improvements include :
     the possibility to rebuild a volume-backed instance;
     the ability to unshelve an instance to a specific host (admin only);
     the change to only accept importing a public key but also with an extended
     name pattern;
     Nova policies removing system scopes for all APIs hence finishing to
