Nova Parity (beagles)

After investigating this stuff again. I found that the comments indicating that these methods were unused were irrelevant, so this BZs are relevant

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269060 https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269061 https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269062

I'll have to look again because there were others that were closed.

This was not on the original list, but does present a parity issue:
