  [Impact]

  User tried a  ceph storage node intentionally degraded, as a failure test case, on all the cases we hit
  the following exception, 

  2014-07-07 04:07:01.121 1573 TRACE nova.compute.manager [instance:

  after we waited 197 seconds or 180 attempts.

  This change adds two configuration options:
   
     a) `block_device_allocate_retries` which can be set in nova.conf
      by the user to configure the number of block device mapping retries.
      It defaults to 60 and replaces the max_tries argument in the above method.

      b) `block_device_allocate_retries_interval` which allows the user
      to specify the time interval between consecutive retries. It defaults to 3
      and replaces wait_between argument in the above method.

  
  [Regression Potential] 

   *  This change introduces two new nova.conf directives, both with
  default values that shouldn't broken previous deployments.
