Title:
  Nova EC2 doesn't create empty volume while launching an instance

Status in ec2-api:
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  AWS is able to create and attach a new empty volume while launching an 
instance. See 
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/CommandLineReference/ApiReference-cmd-RunInstances.html:
  ---
  To create an empty Amazon EBS volume, omit the snapshot ID and specify a 
volume size instead. For example: "/dev/sdh=:20".
  ---
  This can be set by run_instances parameters, and by image block device 
mapping structure.

  But Nova EC2 isn't able to do this:

  $ euca-run-instances --instance-type m1.nano ami-00000001 
--block-device-mapping /dev/vdd=:1
  euca-run-instances: error (InvalidBDMFormat): Block Device Mapping is 
Invalid: Unrecognized legacy format.
