+ Adds a workaround that allows one to disable hypervisor
+ version-check on live migration. This workaround option can be
+ useful in certain scenarios when upgrading. E.g. if you want to
+ relocate all instances off a compute node due to an emergency
+ hardware issue, and you only have another old compute node ready at
+ the time.
+
+ To enable this, use the config attribute
+ ``[workarounds]skip_hypervisor_version_check_on_lm=True`` in
+ ``nova.conf``. The option defaults to ``False``.
