we might need to [failover](http://docs.ganeti.org/ganeti/2.15/man/gnt-instance.html#failover) instead of migrate between those
parts of the cluster.

shiny new processors at all: similar processors had [trouble booting
before Linux 5.5](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Threadripper-3000-MCE-5.5-Fix) for example, so it might be worth waiting a
little before switching to that new platform, even if it's
