here are the two patches.
the first https://review.opendev.org/#/c/724386/ is the actual change to add the new config opition
this needs a release note and some tests but it shoudl be functional hence the [WIP]
i have not enable the workaround in any job in this patch so the ci run will assert this does not break
anything in the default case
the second patch is https://review.opendev.org/#/c/724387/ which enables the workaround in the multi node ci jobs
and is testing that live migration exctra works when the workaround is enabled.
this should work as it is what we expect to happen if you are using a moderne nova with an old neutron.
its is marked [DNM] as i dont intend that patch to merge but if the workaround is useful we migth consider enableing
it for one of the jobs to get ci coverage but not all of the jobs.
i have not had time to deploy a 2 node env today but ill try and test this locally tomorow.
