    `Virtual IOMMU devices <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/pci-passthrough.html#virtual-iommu-support>`_
    can now be created and attached to an instance when running on a x86 host
    and using the libvirt driver.

    Improved behavior for Windows guest by adding by default new `Hyper-V
    enlightments <https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#hypervisor-features>`_
    on all libvirt guests.

    All lifecycle actions are now fully supported for
    `instances with vDPA ports <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/vdpa.html>`_
    , including vDPA hot-plug live migration, suspend and attach/detach.

    Visible API improvements include :
     the possibility to rebuild a volume-backed instance;
     the ability to unshelve an instance to a specific host (admin only);
     the change to only accept importing a public key but also with an extended
     name pattern;
     Nova policies removing system scopes for all APIs hence finishing to
