I've been moaning about the fact that Nova is like a happy oblivious little
child for way too long, so I'll take on the two bugs that teach it that
things can go wrong in the real world:

When a node dies, its instances should be marked !running
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/661214

nova-compute doesn't notice when a VM crashes
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/661260
