We should probably rename and obsolete that page, it was for F16 when
we didn't have publicly hosted Fedora image we could use with
OpenStack.
For F17 danpb created and provided Fedora image, updated instructions
are here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_on_Fedora_17#Register_an_Image

I'd keep separate ec2 and non-ec2 Fedora cloud image, like
http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/
kickstarts could have shared includes but leave them separate to allow
small differences like this bootloader.
