>From devstack arm64 job patch [1], I found this error [2][3] when using
bionic images on arm64 environment:

nova.exception.InternalError: Failed to locate firmware descriptor files

As I move [1] to use the focal version, this error message disappeared.
The wired part is I do can locate firmware descriptor files on my AWS bionic arm64 test environment right at the same demanded path. So I'm not sure what exactly happened there
