Description of problem:
The default QEMU migration transport runs a clear text TCP connection between the two QEMU servers. It is possible to tunnel the migration connection over libvirtd's secure connection but this imposes a significant performance penalty. It is also not possible to tunnel the NBD connection use for block migration at all.
As a step towards securing the management network we need to have Nova configure QEMU to use native TLS support on its migration and NBD data transports, without any tunnelling.

This depends on the libvirt support for TLS encryption for NBD disks. Refer the following libvirt RFE bug in-progress:

native TLS encryption for NBD disk access
