Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 14:05:16 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/custom-kernel-args.

Description:

Although Nova can be made to boot from a kernel+initrd in glance, there is no way to provide custom kernel args to go long with it. This is used to specify an install media location, or any number of other pieces of metadata an initrd may want set per instance. Nova should be made to pull kernel args from a glance metadata property, as well as allow them to be passed in per-VM via 'nova boot'
