Marcin Juszkiewicz 8bc7b950b7 libvirt: use 'host-passthrough' as default on AArch64
Nova is assuming 'host-model' for KVM/QEMU setup.

On AArch64 it results in "libvirtError: unsupported configuration: CPU
mode 'host-model' for aarch64 kvm domain on aarch64 host is not
supported by hypervisor" message.

AArch64 lacks 'host-model' support because neither libvirt nor QEMU
are able to tell what the host CPU model exactly is. And there is no
CPU description code for ARM(64) at this point.

So instead we fallback to 'host-passthrough' to get VM instances
running. This will completely break live migration, *unless* all the
Compute nodes (running libvirtd) have *identical* CPUs.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.

Further developer focused documentation is available at:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
