Comment 4 for bug 1809040

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of bug 1653810 since yes it is an edge case. We could maybe document some kind of troubleshooting tip for it in the docs though?

https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/support-compute.html

Long-term we want to model pci devices with placement so that we don't have the brittle config-driven inventory code in compute and the pci tracker/manager, so presumably that would help with this.
