The reshape will actually move the existing allocations for a VGPU resource
class to the inventory for this class that is on the child resource
provider now with the reshape.

Since we agreed on keeping consistent naming, there is no need to guess
which is which. That said, you raise a point that was discussed during the
PTG and we all agreed there was an upgrade impact as multiple vGPUs
shouldn't be allowed until the reshape is done.

Accordingly, see my spec I reproposed for Stein which describes the upgrade
impact https://review.openstack.org/#/c/602474/

Since I'm at the PTG, we have huge time difference between you and me, but
we can discuss on that point next week when I'm back (my mornings match
then your afternoons)
