It looks to me like this was removed in oslo in commit a33989e7a2737af757648099cc1af6c642b6e016, which was synced with nova in 605749ca12af969ac122008b4fa14904df68caf7 (however, I can't see the change being listed in the commit message for nova, which I assume is a process failure). That change merged into nova on March 6.
I think the only option we're left with for icehouse is a backport fix for this.
