[Bug 1483159] Re: Canonical naming for non-x86 architectures

[James Page]

The original source of this bug is incorrect configuration of the
'architecture' property in a glance image; if the standard Ubuntu/Debian
architecture names are used, then they don't match the architecture that
nova-compute/libvirt detect on the hypervisors, and instances can't be
scheduled appropriately.

I've proposed a fix to simplestreams (a distribution tool for images)
but it would be nice if openstack could be a little friendlier in
mapping the distro architecture names into canonical forms as well.

Bug description:
  Various non-x86 architectures (POWER and ARM) don't correctly
  canonicalize into things that libvirt natively understands.

  The attached patches normalizes some alternative architecture strings
  into standardized ones for Nova/libvirt.
