Title:
  dhcp server defaults to gateway for filtering when unset

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  network/model.py converts new-style models to old ones.

  When it's trying to identify the IP address of a DHCP server, it uses
  the DHCP server address, if set, and the gateway if not.  DHCP
  filtering is only turned off completely (i.e. all DHCP packets are
  denied) if neither a DHCP server nor a gateway are set.

  There's no documentation of this functionality in the code, so I don't
  know why it's there.  However, I believe the DHCP server address
  should always be set to the correct address and, if it's unset, then
  there is no DHCP server  - so the fallback should be removed from the
  code.  (I'd appreciate someone confirming that.)

  This bug will affect the libvirt driver (which at present uses
  legacy()-style models) and anything that uses virt/firewall.py (which
  converts new models to legacy form).
