Adding some notes here which we gathered by talking to James Page who in
turn was talking to <forgotwho>... One thing to get hold of is real
crashdumps. But those will be relatively big and Chris is currently
trying to see whether we can trigger this on a devstack environment.

>From what I understand, when forcing the config drive off, the process
preparing the image (which I assume runs in its own namespace) will
mount the image just before providing it to the guest and write some
config data directly into the image. So this makes the namespace of that
process have modified mount information and that might be our problem.
Not sure there is also some timing side to it or whether it only depends
on doing these steps. But at least this gets us ahead in understanding
what goes on (and why it would happen more frequently just now).
