I know Robert Collins and others would like to see our defaults be
reasonable for a mid sized deployment so we shouldn't use a default to
accomodate Jenkins.

It is possible. You can expose and set config options through the
devstack-gate project [1] which runs the devstack tests in Jenkins.

I don't think we want to do this as it already takes quite a bit of
time to get through the gate (the three hour timeout seems long, but
sdague and others would have a better idea of what it should be).

You will probably find the devstack-vm-gate.sh and
devstack-vm-gate-wrap.sh scripts to be most useful.
