Qemu>=5.0.0 bumped the default tb-cache size to 1GiB(from 32MiB) and this made it difficult to run multiple guest VMs on systems running with lower memory. With Libvirt>=8.0.0 it's possible to configure lower tb-cache size. Below config option is introduced to allow configure TB cache size as per environment needs, this only applies to 'virt_type=qemu':- [libvirt]tb_cache_size Also enable this flag in nova-next job.
