Recently discovered performance issues with the libgcrypt library [1] mean that operators may wish to avoid the now default native decryption of LUKSv1 volumes as of I5a0de814f2868f1a4980a69b72b45ee829cedb94. This change introduces a ``[workarounds]/disable_native_luksv1`` option to disable this native decryption by QEMU, allowing Nova to fallback to the dm-crypt based os-brick encryptors. This workaround is temporary and will be removed during the W release once all impacted distributions have been able to update their versions of the libgcrypt library. The _is_luks_v1 method previously used to confirm if a LUKSv1 encryption provider is being used has been renamed _allow_native_luksv1 and repurposed to determine if native LUKSv1 decryption by QEMU is allowed.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
