Basically, it's more of a note for myself at this point.

We don't directly expose a way to define a role in
devstack-gate[1][2][3][4]. We do a lot of heuristics to detect whether
or not the node is a primary node or a subnode.

Ideally, we should really have an environment variable ($ROLE ?) that
can be set by projects in  project-config, and just call the test matrix
script[5] with the role that is being set in the environment variable.

Because otherwise we end up with more if/else checks on random variables
like your patch and the MULTI_KEYSTONE[6] patch, and eventually it
becomes very difficult to maintain and add to.

Does this make sense?
