Comment 1 for bug 1847367

I've added this to the Oct 10 nova meeting agenda's open discussion section. I'm not sure I'll be around to discuss it during the meeting though since I have to leave early. It seems the options are:

1. Add a workaround option to configure the limit per compute host.

2. Add some distro-specific check to the code (that seems pretty nasty but at least it doesn't require a new option).

3. Figure out if there is a 3.x minor version that we could update the code to check which will work across multiple major distributions. Without knowing what/when the CentOS kernel was patched that's probably hard to do.
