Another update on this, but I was trying to recreate the original 
reported issue in the nova bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1715374

And I didn't even get to the point of the libvirt driver waiting for the 
network-vif-plugged event because privsep blows up much earlier during 
server create after SIGHUP'ing the service. Details start at comment 34 
in that bug, but the tl;dr is the privsep-helper child processes are 
gone after the SIGHUP so anything that relies on privsep (which is 
anything using root in the libvirt driver and os-vif utils code now I 
think) won't work until you restart the service.

I don't yet know if this is a regression in Stein but I'm going to 
create a stable/rocky devstack and try to find out.
