Description

When I instantiate libcloud via get_driver(Provider.EC2_AP_SOUTHEAST), I'm returned a libcloud.compute.drivers.ec2.EC2APSENodeDriver object. Since the refactor to remove "datacenter", EC2NodeDriver._init_() sets my region back to "us-east-1".

Previously this code worked:

driver = get_driver(Provider.EC2_AP_SOUTHEAST)
connection = driver(key, secret)

Now I need:

driver = get_driver(Provider.EC2_AP_SOUTHEAST)
connection = driver(key, secret, datacenter="ap-southeast-1")
