Bug Description

The instance overhead estimation in the xenapi driver is inaccurate for instances with larger numbers of VCPUs. It predicts an overhead value lower than the actual VM overhead in some cases.

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/XenServer/Overhead has been updated with newer information. Gerritt review will follow shortly.

    xenapi: Update VM memory overhead estimation

    Update the VM memory overhead estimation formula to be more accurate
    based on a more comprehensive survey of VM overhead values found in
    the Rackspace public cloud's XenServer hosts.

    The old formula was under-predicting overhead in some cases, especially
    when VMs had a larger number of VCPUs.
