Public bug reported:

This blueprint intends to add the capability of hiding the kvm signature from guests: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/add-kvm-hidden-feature
However, it is implemented only through an image property.

A major reason for this feature is to allow passed-through Nvidia GPUs
to work correctly. GPU pci-passthrough is specified on the flavor's
extra_specs, without requiring an image with special properties.
Therefore, hiding the KVM signature should also be specifiable through
the flavor's extra_specs, in order to not require a special image for
this use case.
