The inject_file() method in nova/compute/api.py was created as
essentially a placeholder. The Rackspace use case only called for file
injection at instance creation time, which is why the create() method of the
API accepts injected files as a parameter. I had planned on implementing the
direct inject_file() method, but it was deemed out of scope at the time;
perhaps a comment to that effect, or a NotImplemented error, would have made
that clearer.
