Public bug reported:

AWS allows to register a volume backed image. But Nova doesn't:

$ euca-register -n ebs-image --kernel aki-00000002 --ramdisk ari-00000003 --root-device-name /dev/vda -b /dev/vda=snap-00000006
euca-register: error (HTTPInternalServerError): The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation.

In fact this feature is not implemented in Nova. But this feature is
used in 'Launching an Instance from a Backup' AWS scenario
(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/instance-launch-
snapshot.html).
