Title:
  Configdrive fails to properly display within Windows Guest (Xenapi)

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Windows guests within a XenServer environment currently do not have
  the ability to properly have ConfigDrive attached unless the
  environment has its nova.conf set up as:

  config_drive_format=vfat

  This issue ultimately results from this value being defaulted to
  ISO9660 (CDFS) and the VBD object being used for it being a disk (the
  nova.virt.xenapi.vm_utils.create_vbd default).  After testing, While
  the VBD is attached without issue and in the proper stateI was unable
  to get this drive to show up within Windows at all.  I was unable to
  see the drive detected within the GUI, or within Windows Powershell.

  This can be addressed by detecting the nova.conf configuration
  setting, and adjusting the VBD attach accordingly.  I will be
  submitting a follow-up commit shortly.
