the IP allocation pool can be a subset of the overal subnet range, if for
example, you want to limit the set of IP addresses that Quantum will hand
out to a sub-range of the total IPs in the subnet.  This can be useful if a
quantum network is shared with hosts outside of openstack (e.g., with
physical hosts provisioned outside of openstack).
