Title:
  Retrospectively adding qemu guest agent channel  to volume backed
  instance

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  
  Description
  ===========

  Having deployed a number of instances in our openstack environment it
  was discovered that we need to have qemu guest agent functionality
  enabled, which was not baked into the image these instances were
  deployed from.

  Instances are cinder volume backed, not ephemeral.

  I raised the question in the #openstack-nova irc channel if this was possible. The only feasible option seemed to be a rebuild.  With this in mind, and given that the instances are volume backed I was looking at 
   potential alternative options to work around this.

  Environment
  ===========
  DISTRIB_ID="OSA"
  DISTRIB_RELEASE="18.1.3"
  DISTRIB_CODENAME="Rocky"
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="OpenStack-Ansible"

  Nova v18.1.1

  Hypervisor: Libvirt (libvirt 4.0.0) + KVM (qemu-kvm version 1:2.11
  +dfsg-1ubuntu7.23)

  Cinder v13.0.3 backed volumes
