+ During the triage of https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1978372
+ we compared the performance of nova's numa allocations strategies
+ as it applied to the large numbers of host and guest numa nodes.
+ Prior to ``Xena`` nova only supported a linear packing strategy.
+ In ``Xena`` ``[compute]/packing_host_numa_cells_allocation_strategy``
+ was introduced maintaining the previous packing behavior by default.
+ The numa allocation strategy has now been defaulted to spread.
+ The old behavior can be restored by defining:
+ ``[compute]/packing_host_numa_cells_allocation_strategy=true``
