Extend Cinder Volume Type QoS Functionality
===========================================

AWS EBS provides a deterministic number of IOPS based on the capacity of the
provisioned volume with Provisioned IOPS. Similarly, the newly announced
throughput optimized volumes provide deterministic throughput based on the
capacity of the provisioned volume. Cinder should, in addition to current per
volume maximums, be able to set lower qos limits based on the provisioned
capacity.

Provisioned IOPS
================

For each volume type, add a new tag: iops_per_gb

if iops_per_gb * volume_size_in_gb <= 20000
  total_iops_sec = 20000
else
  total_iops_sec = iops_per_gb * volume_size_in_gb
  
Throughput Optimized
====================

For each volume type, add a new tag: bw_per_gb

if bw_per_gb * volume_size_in_gb <= 500
  total_iops_sec = 500
  total_bytes_sec = 500 * 1024 * 1024
else
  total_iops_sec = bw_per_gb * volume_size_in_gb
  total_bytes_sec = bw_per_gb * volume_size_in_gb * 1024 * 1024
