+fixes:

+    Fixes ``br_netfilter`` kernel module not to be loaded nor configured
+    by Kolla Ansible.
+    It was loaded and configured on Nova compute hosts regardless of the
+    networking service config and its requirements.
+    Users of existing setups are advised to re-evaluate whether they
+    need this module loaded and unload if not necessary (also: remove
+    from the autoloaded modules, as well as remove the related sysctls
+    ``net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-*``).
+    Kolla Ansible will simply no longer try to load nor configure this
+    module at all.
+    Neutron agents handle loading and configuring this module as
+    necessary.
