For each nic we need to add some data to the partitions boot-os-specific-parameters property. Till now we were accumulating everything to a single string which set the property once. The new approach is to update the property for each nic. This leads to more read/write accesses on this partition property. But on the other hand we're gaining flexibility. E.g. someone might want to add a NIC after spawn. Or some other data should be added. Those scenarios were not supported in the past. This is also helpful to move this code into the partitioninstance class. In the future this action might not be required for all type of partitions (e.g. not for ssc).

openstack/nova-dpm Project
About this project
This project provides a Nova virtualization driver for the PR/SM hypervisor of IBM z Systems and IBM LinuxOne machines that are in the DPM (Dynamic Partition Manager) administrative mode.
The DPM mode enables dynamic capabilities of the firmware-based PR/SM hypervisor that are usually known from software-based hypervisors, such as creation, deletion and modification of partitions (i.e. virtual machines) and virtual devices within these partitions, and dynamic assignment of these virtual devices to physical I/O adapters.
The z/VM and KVM hypervisors on z Systems and LinuxONE machines are supported by separate Nova virtualization drivers:
- KVM is supported by the standard libvirt/KVM driver in the openstack/nova project.
- z/VM is supported by the z/VM driver in the openstack/nova-zvm-virt-driver project.
