Public bug reported:

I booted up an instance as follows in my stable/mitaka devstack
environment:

$ echo "this is a test" > /tmp/my_user_data.txt
$ echo "blah1" > /tmp/file1
$ echo "blah2" > /tmp/file2
$ nova boot --flavor m1.tiny --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec  --config-drive true --user-data /tmp/my_user_data.txt --file /root/file1=/tmp/file1 --file /tmp/file2=/tmp/file2 testing


This booted up an instance, and within the guest I ran the following:

$ mkdir mnt
$ mount /dev/sr0 mnt
$ cat mnt/openstack/latest/user_data
this is a test
$ umount mnt
$ cat /root/file1
blah1
$ cat /tmp/file2
blah2

Then I killed the compute node and ran "nova evacuate testing".

The evacuated instance had a config drive at /dev/sr0, but it did not
have the /root/file1 or /tmp/file2 files.  This is arguably incorrect.
