Public bug reported:

In this commit:
https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/4647f418afb9ced223c089f9d49cd686eccae9e2

nova starts using the modified_eui64() function which isn't available in
netaddr 0.7.12. It is available in version 0.7.18, which is what the
upper-constraints.txt has. I haven't investigate (yet) when the new
method was introduce in netaddr, though in all reasonableness, I'd
strongly suggest pushing for an upgrade of global-requirements.txt to
0.7.18 (which is what we've been gating on for a long time).

At the packaging level, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, as 0.7.18
is what Xenial has.

The other solution would be to remove the call of modified_eui64() in
Nova, but this looks a more risky option to me, so close from the
release.

** Affects: nova
     Importance: High
         Status: Confirmed
