It's not an extraction question. Just about knowing whether the Nova folks
would accept us to modify some o.vo object and module just for a temporary
time until Placement API has some new query parameter.
Whether Placement is extracted or not isn't really the problem, it's more
about the time it will take for this query parameter ("numbered request
groups to be in the same subtree") to be implemented in the Placement API.
The real problem we have with vGPUs is that if we don't have NUMA affinity,
the performance would be around 10% less for vGPUs (if the pGPU isn't on
the same NUMA cell than the pCPU). Not sure large operators would accept
that :(
