      We broke CPU pinning in dev-preview3 by enabling nova's power management feature with https://github.com/openstack-k8s-operators/nova-operator/pull/597 .

      https://github.com/openstack-k8s-operators/nova-operator/pull/597 is now reverted on main via https://github.com/openstack-k8s-operators/nova-operator/pull/650 so CPU pinning works on main again and power management is disabled on main.

      To actually solve the power management issue we need to land the nova upstream fixes to stable/2023.1 proposed in https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22power-mgmt-fixups%22 and then re-enable power management in nova-operator.
