Public bug reported:

- [x] This is a doc addition request.

This is coming up from discussion about what to document in the release
notes for the libvirt VGPU reshaper work that happened in Stein:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/644412/4/releasenotes/notes/stein-
prelude-b5fe92310e1e725e.yaml@57

Specifically about the upgrade impact of VGPU inventory and allocations
moving from the root compute node resource provider to a child resource
provider.

The release notes and docs for VGPUs are not very clear about this
change (the docs don't actually mention anything about it). So this bug
is for tracking that gap.

I think it would be good to at the very least mention that starting in
the Stein release, VGPU inventory and allocations are tracked on a child
resource provider of the root compute node resource provider. And we
could illustrate this using examples from openstack CLIs:

https://docs.openstack.org/osc-placement/latest/index.html

For example, list resource providers where there are two, one for the
root compute node resource provider and one for a VGPU provider. Then
list inventories on each and see there is VCPU/MEMORY_MB/DISK_GB on the
compute node root provider and VGPU inventory on the child provider.
Nothing fancy but something as a way to show, if you set this up
correctly and things are working correctly, this is what you should
expect to see.
