hardware supports nested virt on compute (if using kvm on nova-compute lxc
should work okay), quantum is a bit of a mystery.

i noticed that limitation with the local provider, i think mixed container
usage would help, we would need to direct both to the same bridge. not sure
if that the will resolve all the issues.

kvm machine per openstack instance are a bit overkill, hulk smash/deploy-to
would help though but needs a bundle/deployer config with co-location for
folks to use.

i was thinking it would be nice for 14.10 to have a dev/demo on one machine
to prod workflow on openstack. tbd, there are a few other projects working
on the same.

openstack as dev or demo on local sounds awesome.
