Public bug reported:

Nova uses hardcoded block device path for NBD server.
See: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/disk/mount/nbd.py#L63

For example, as deployer i want to pick my own path to NBD storage, but
it's hardcoded. And not clear (no documentation) where should NBD
storage be.

Proper solution is to propose new configuration opt:
Name: nbd_storage_path
Type: String
Default: /sys/blocl/nbd1
