    The ``nova-conductor`` service now needs access to the Placement service
    in the case of forcing a destination host during a live migration. Ensure
    the ``[placement]`` section of nova.conf for the ``nova-conductor`` service
    is filled in.
fixes:
  - |
    When forcing a specified destination host during live migration, the
    scheduler is bypassed but resource allocations will still be made in the
    Placement service against the forced destination host. If the resource
    allocation against the destination host fails, the live migration operation
    will fail, regardless of the ``force`` flag being specified in the API.
    The guest will be unchanged on the source host. For more details, see
    `bug 1712008`_.

Add release note for force live migration allocations
Add release note for force live migration allocations

When forcing a destination host during live migration, conductor
bypasses the scheduler, performs some pre-migration checks and then
casts to the specified destination compute host directly.

With change I40b5af5e85b1266402a7e4bdeb3705e1b0bd6f3b we are still
bypassing the scheduler but conductor will attempt to allocate
resources against the specified destination host, which could fail
and result in the live migration failing even though the force flag
was specified in the API.

This change simply adds a release note for the new behavior which
was missing from the original fix.
