This feels like a small feature request. The best would be to be able to pass a timeout parameter from nova to libvirt then nova can make the timeout configurable. As far as I see libvirt does not provide such parameter[1]. So yes the other option is to implement a retry loop on the nova-compute side. If you have the motivation to push this small feature forward then I suggest to show up on #openstack-nova IRC channel (on OFTC) to discuss this forward.
