Public bug reported:

Description
===========

There is no validation of the provided disk_bus in the API, with libvirt
this eventually leads to the driver and hypervisor eventually ignoring
the requested disk_bus and defaulting to virtio.

Steps to reproduce
==================

A common mistake for users to make is to request a virtio-scsi disk_bus:

$ nova boot --flavor 2 --block-device id=a37d4630-fbc0-4b8e-
91a0-18346f907830,source=image,dest=volume,size=1,bus=virtio-
scsi,bootindex=0 --nic net-name=private test

Expected result
===============

This should be rejected as this is not a supported disk_bus, instead
scsi should be used.

Actual result
=============

The value is ignored and the instance defaults to a virtio bus.

Environment
===========
1. Exact version of OpenStack you are running. See the following
  list for all releases: http://docs.openstack.org/releases/

   master

2. Which hypervisor did you use?
   (For example: Libvirt + KVM, Libvirt + XEN, Hyper-V, PowerKVM, ...)
   What's the version of that?

   Libvirt + KVM

2. Which storage type did you use?
   (For example: Ceph, LVM, GPFS, ...)
   What's the version of that?

   N/A

3. Which networking type did you use?
   (For example: nova-network, Neutron with OpenVSwitch, ...)

   N/A

Logs & Configs
