Public bug reported:
Nova doesn't care about PCI slot number where virtual NIC is attached.
As a result guests (recent Ubuntu for example) in which NIC name depends on PCI
slot number rename interfaces in circumstances described below:
1. Launch VM using Ubuntu cloud image with 1 interface.
Name of the interface will be like "ens3"
$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02)

00:06.0 Unclassified device [00ff]: Red Hat, Inc Virtio memory balloon
2. Attach more interfaces (nova interface-attach).
Attached interfaces will get names like "ens7"

3. Do "nova reboot --hard" for this VM (this action regenerates XML in
Libvirt).
Interfaces "ens7" will be renamed to "ens4" since Libvirt XML for this
VM will be recreated.

4. Compare names of interfaces after step 2 and step 3.
Same happens after interfaces detached:
For example if VM has ens3, ens4, ens5 then detach ens4 then ens5 will be
renamed to renamed on hard reboot.
Ideally I would expect from Nova to assign PCI slot number to attached
devices and keep this assignment in XML in
/var/lib/nova/instances/<instanceUUID>/libvirt.xml
OpenStack version: Newton (newer versions also affected)
hypervisor: Libvirt+KVM
networking type: Neutron with OpenVSwitch
