Bug Description

This Tempest tests fails on Xen+libvirt:
tempest.scenario.test_volume_boot_pattern.TestVolumeBootPattern.test_boot_server_from_encrypted_volume_luks

This is because pygrub is unable to open an encrypted disk and so can not find the kernel of guest.

    Skip boot from encrypted volume on Xen+libvirt

    The Xen toolstack is trying to locate the kernel by running pygrub on
    the host (as opposed to in guest) on the disk image, this fails for
    encrypted volume.

    Skip the Tempest test until this is resolved.
