Bug Description

Attempting to evacuate too many servers from a single host simultaneously could result in bandwidth starvation. Instances dirty their memory faster than they can be migrated, resulting in instances perpetually stuck in the migrating state.

Nova allows to live migrate multiple VMs at a time, there's no limit for simultaneous live migrations - everything depends on use case and setup configuration (particularly network configuration and bandwidth).

host-evacuate-live is implemented in python-novaclient, so nothing to fix in nova.
