Vmotions should be encrypted, but not for really large RAM sizes because encryption impacts vmotion performance too much. So let the flavor define one of "required", "disabled" or "opportunistic". If not set, null/None defaults to "opportunistic".

Vmotions should be encrypted, but not for really large RAM sizes
because encryption impacts vmotion performance too much. Let the
flavor define one of "required", "disabled" or "opportunistic".

The default in our VMware configuration is "opportunistic", which
means "use encryption for the vmotion if both source and target
support it", which should be all of our landscape. We default to
"required" explicitly now in Nova for every new & resized general-
purpose-flavored VM.

If the flavor sets an invalid value, the default will be used and a
warning logged.
