I wanted to see the fail of the initial drive_add and I was able to create:
virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp instance-0000001a 'drive_add 1 file=rbd:cinder-ceph/volume-8ab7473e-c34c-421a-b6d9-b18a9fa8788a:id=nova-compute:auth_supported=cephx\;none:mon_host=10.5.26.60\:6789\;10.5.26.61\:6789\;10.5.26.62\:6789,password-secret=virtio-disk0-secret1,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,serial=8ab7473e-c34c-421a-b6d9-b18a9fa8788a,cache=none'

That is even closer to the root cause and shows:
Block format 'raw' does not support the option 'password-secret'

From there I found that this is an issue with old/new syntax and it needs an attribute prefix on the old syntax used.
Fix: password-secret -> file.password-secret

Then it will complain about lacking the secret, but that is ok I haven't added one in my manual flow.

After that was known I was also able to find:

- https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=d53d465083edeb64cc7b78249c030734c0d91c6b

Fix is in >=2.2 change that started to fail in 1.3.5.
Given that we have:
- xenial 1.3.1-1ubuntu10.8
- yakkety 2.1.0-1ubuntu9
- zesty 2.5.0-3ubuntu3

We only need an SRU for Yakkety.
