cloning to fix in 16.1 too this time we'll fix it for real in tripleo-heat-templates (not as a quick hack in rhosp-director-images) This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1793166 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1659190 +++ Description of problem: Power8 systems need to disable SMT in order to run kvm guests properly, but that is not being done automatically on power8 compute nodes in 14. The qemu-kvm package includes a file /usr/lib/systemd/kvm-setup that's supposed to disable SMT on system startup. This worked in 13 because the qemu-kvm-rhev package was installed on the compute node. However in 14, this package is only installed in the libvirt container and not on node directly so it does not get run by systemd on the compute node.
this is present in 16.1 beta compose(s) so moving to on_qa
