Thanks to all for answers!

It seems that API for floating ips needs to be discussed.

For approach #1 we already have implementation, and it seems that approach
#3 and approach #1 aim little bit different use cases.
Approach #3 give us ability to work with floating ips using OpenStack API
and approach #1 emulate aws ec2 behavior. Implementation here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~openstack-gd/nova/auto-float-ip . It implemented
as option that is disabled by default.
