For example, We have lots of flavor, the root disk vary from 20G to 
100G, memory vary from 512M to 16384M. Some times user want to create a 
instance with low memory but huge root disk. But there are no limit of 
root disk, so I want to find some quotas of these two.

On the other hand, a flavor contains memory, disk, ephemeral, swap, 
vcpus. Just memory and vcpu have quota. And we have quota of instance 
count. Besides some guy want to add flavor-specific-instance-quotas, 
that is awesome. So I think add quota for disk, ephemeral and even swap 
will be good, which make quota system more powerful, complete.
