Remove the noLimit values and always use limits

This patch moves from allowing no-limits for disk/cpu ratios, and always
use a real limit. For disk, it's simple since we use 0, which means no
reservations for disks. For CPU, we set an (arbitrary) limit of 64 v/p,...

Fix hspace's KM metrics

We returned the KM_POOL_* metrics as the final state, not as the delta
between the final and the initial state.

Fix Node hiCpu computation

In case we're not enabling limits, let's restrict this to -1, instead of

Add a new function to compute allocation deltas

Given two cluster states, the new function can answer the following
questions:

- how much resources currently allocated
- how much resources finally allocated (delta from above is how much we
can actually allocate on the cluster)...

Fix IAllocator multi-evacuate message

Since Ganeti passes full host names (not common-suffix-stripped), we
need to remove the suffix from the evac_nodes keys too. In case one node
is not part of the cluster, it will lead to a wrong error message, but
for now it fixes the problem.

balance function: use the movable flag directly

Instead of deciding based on secondary node, use the new flag.

39f979b8 02/23/2010 02:09 pm Iustin Pop

Update the loader pipeline to set the movable flag

This updates the movable flag on instances if they have only one node

line options.

This doesn't yet enable the use of the new flag.
