Open Stack

Hi,

I'm trying to make use of huge pages as described in "http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/kilo/implemented/virt-driver-large-pages.html".  I'm running kilo as of Jan 27th.

I've allocated 10000 2MB pages on a compute node.  "virsh capabilities" on that node contains:

    <topology>
      <cells num='2'>
        <cell id='0'>
          <memory unit='KiB'>67028244</memory>
          <pages unit='KiB' size='4'>16032069</pages>
          <pages unit='KiB' size='2048'>5000</pages>
          <pages unit='KiB' size='1048576'>1</pages>
...
        <cell id='1'>
          <memory unit='KiB'>67108864</memory>
          <pages unit='KiB' size='4'>16052224</pages>
          <pages unit='KiB' size='2048'>5000</pages>
          <pages unit='KiB' size='1048576'>1</pages>


I then restarted nova-compute, I set "hw:mem_page_size=large" on a flavor, and then tried to boot up an instance with that flavor.  I got the error logs below in nova-scheduler.  Is this a bug?
