The raw-disk-images patch already deals with not having a kernel & ramdisk:
https://code.launchpad.net/~justin-fathomdb/nova/raw-disk-images/+merge/38458

That was (re)submitted a few hours before feature-freeze, but hasn't
been reviewed/merged.

The raw-disk-images patch assumes that no kernel <=> no ramdisk, but
this would be easy to change so that you can have a kernel but no
ramdisk.

For EC2 API compatibility reasons, instead of dropping the default, it
uses a 'magic' ramdisk / kernel id.  I think it's aki-00000000 and
ari-00000000.  As I recall, vish and I came up with this 'hack'.

Because the user must explicitly select the 'null' kernel/ramdisk, this
avoids breaking anything.
