Sorry but this is not a bug, that just means the spec is not fully
complete. In order to do that, please repropose the missing bits in a
separate spec (and blueprint) for Liberty

Title:
  'Virt driver CPU pinning' feature missing thread support

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The Virt drive CPU pinning feature' is described here:

      http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/kilo/implemented/virt-driver-cpu-pinning.html
      https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/kilo/implemented/virt-driver-cpu-pinning.rst

  Per this specification, support should exist for two additional flavor
  extra spec parameters:

      * ``hw:cpu_policy=shared|dedicated``
      * ``hw:cpu_threads_policy=avoid|separate|isolate|prefer``

  Upon investigation, however, it appears that only the first of these
  was implemented. No code exists to implement the latter and the
  parameters have no effect. We have written tests to verify this.

  I do not find any documentation about this fact. As a result, I don't
  see how this feature could have been marked as implemented without
  changing the spec or adding these features. Since neither was done,
  this feature should be added to truly complete the specification.

  This information was accurate as of the latest HEAD of 'stable/kilo'
  (36fb002) and 'master' ('e77541c').
