Title:
  DOS by allocating all fixed ips

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) essex series:
  Fix Committed
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) folsom series:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When using FlatDHCP networking it is possible for a user to use up all
  of the fixed ips by repeatedly calling addFixedIp to an instance.

  Repro case allocating 100 fixed ips:

  nova boot --flavor=1 --image=<image> foo
  for i in {1..100}; do
    nova add-fixed-ip foo
  done

  When all ips are exhausted it is impossible for anyone to boot a vm

  Note this is possible in vlan mode, but it would only DOS a single
  tenant in this case.
