Title:
  test_xenapi fails when nova and tests are in different directory trees

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Nova's xenapi tests uses realpath joined together with "../../../../"
  to determine the parent directory, which does not work if one of the
  parent directories is a symlink, as it traverses then into a different
  than the original directory subtree.

  It should use "normpath" which simply works by stripping off path
  components, as other unit tests for determining the root dir already
  do.
