Major Description
libcloud.compute.drivers.rackspace.RackspaceUKNodeDriver inherits OpenStack_1_0_NodeDriver and this does not return the required data with regards to node details that are required to manage rackspace nodes, not with the OpenStack driver in any case. Specifically driver.list.nodes() returns uuid stings for nodes e.g.:
<Node: uuid=a05c637f548f64d1c847d85abe50bfda46789bec, name=zpf-controller-dev-2-10g-ruk, state=0, public_ips=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'], provider=Rackspace (UK) ...>
The uuid is not usable in the Rackspace Server or Server Action operations (as defined in their API) as they all require the id parameter.
The inherited OpenStack ex_rebuild errors with:

The Rackspace API returns id on all "server" requests e.g.
wget --no-check-certificate --server-response -O ruk.servers.no.detail --header "X-Auth-Token: xxxxxxxxxxx" https://lon.servers.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/xxxxx/servers
{"servers":[
{"id":10085881,"name":"base-centos-6-ruk"},
{"id":10087553,"name":"zpf-controller-dev-1-10g-ruk"},
{"id":10087643,"name":"zpf-controller-dev-2-10g-ruk"}]}
Am I doing something incorrect or is the OpenStack driver not compatible with Rackspace? If not then surely libcloud should remove Rackspace from this list of Providers. It would at least save people the time and effort of figuring that out themselves.
