[Openstack] Openstack+KVM+overcommit, VM priority

This is a scheduler thing. Kvm/Linux has it's own scheduler built in for
any process that needs to share CPU cycles aside from the filter scheduler
used by OpenStack. My understanding is that any optimizations assigned to
resource consumption will not be handled by OpenStack but with manual
tweaks.

And I may be wrong about it not handled within nova. Also I know you're
doing it now but that is way against best practice my friend
(over-committing RAM).
