Description

While AWS EC2 describe-tags API will return tags for any resource with tags, the libcloud ex_describe_tags() will not.

Looking at the code, ex_describe_tags() calls ec2's DescribeTags with a filter of "'resource-type': 'instance'"

I've looked through commits on ec2.py - I don't see a reason (historical or otherwise) for having ex_describe_tags not work on all ec2 resources?
