The basic answer is that there isn't anything in nova right now that
does this, partly because it's a slightly difficult question to answer
correctly for everyone.  In my testing environment, for instance, I use
a Turnstile preprocessor to set the quota_class attribute on the request
context to be the same as the selected rate limit class.

I envisioned that, ultimately, the quota_class would be set by the
authentication processing middleware(s), but I'm not against adding an
association to nova to manage that.
