Expose ability to configure kernel and ramdisk via REST and CLI. And add ability to pass in kernel command line at instance launch time
In an effort to streamline the image creation process using OpenStack the following observations have been made: nova-compute RPC API provides that ability to specify ramdisk_id and kernel_id when creating an instance [1]. However, the REST API does not expose this functionality and the kernel_id and ramdisk_id are inherited from the image being used to launch the instance. Another limitation is the inability to pass in the kernal command line.
This blueprint proposes two changes:
1) Exposing ability to pass in kernel_id and ramdisk_id from REST API and CLI.
2) Adding ability to pass in kernal command line from REST API and CLI
Making the kernel and ramdisk launch-time configurable more closely matches the existing EC2 behavior.
