Public bug reported:

There have been 2 bugs where the bare metal driver is accessing libvirt
private code

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1261826
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1261827

This kind of mistake could be prevented using a custom pep8 hacking rule
for Nova.

Arguably the same could be said of other files outside the nova/virt
directory - they shouldn't access private virt driver code directly -
only go via the public virt driver API
