Mike Perez 8ca13afc49 Introduce use case section

This will now require a separate section "Use Cases". This was
originally within "Problem description", but use cases seems to be
missed when it was filled out. This will hopefully improve spec
submission.

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/datera-driver

Other deployer impact

The deployer needs to set the cinder.conf to the right volume_driver.

volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.datera.DateraDriver

ISCSI would require setting up san_ip, san_login and san_password appropriately.

vHost would have dependencies on using Linux-IO with the vHost fabric module. The target_helper in the cinder.conf needs to be set to lio_vhost.
