Public bug reported:

The command:

   nova boot --flavor $FLAV --key_name $KEY --image $IMG --meta foo=bar
meta1

should inject a file into `/meta.js` with content `{"foo":"bar"}`.
Currently in devstack this doesn't work.

It looks as if the data is arriving to n-cpu as:

    metadata={u'foo': u'bar'}

But n-cpu is expecting:

    metadata = [{"key": "foo", "value": "bar"}]

** Affects: nova
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- metadata injection from nova boot does not result in /meta.js
+ metadata injected at nova boot does not arrive in /meta.js
