----

The descriptions of default_availability_zone and default_schedule_zone
are confusing, they seem to serve the same purpose and it is not clear
how they differ.

Looking at the code a bit, the text for default_schedule_zone is even
wrong, it does not affect the scheduler (at least not directly), but is
being used in the "create server" call in the API in case that the
original request did not specify an availability_zone.

The default_availability_zone in contrast seems to be used to evaluate
what the az for a compute host will be if it is not being set by other
means.

It would be nice if someone from Nova team could confirm this before we
start updating the docs.
