Bug Description

When DescribeInstances api call is made, the result does not contain a kernel or a ramdisk for a running image:

$ euca-describe-images ami-00000017
IMAGE ami-00000017 smoser-ubuntu-images/ubuntu-lucid-10.04-amd64-server-20110719.img.manifest.xml available private x86_64 machine aki-00000016 instance-store
$ euca-run-instances ami-00000017 --key mykey.pem
$ euca-describe-instances i-000000c8
RESERVATION r-hm0g1p5n smoser_project default
INSTANCE i-000000c8 ami-00000017 10.55.60.8 10.55.60.8 running mykey 0m1.large 2011-08-16T19:37:19Z nova

As you can see, the ami had a kernel associated with it, but the DescribeInstances call returned nothing.

Also, this patch should fix the instance not bootable problem.

Note this TR relates to:

But bug/890486's fix does not solve the whole problem.

This fix should address it.

Fix metadata mapping in s3._s3_parse_manifest.

Fixes bug #827617

    Fixes incorrect output of the following euca2ools commands:
        'euca-describe-images'
        'euca-describe-instances'
    Which occours when user published 'ami' image with 'ari&aki' or 'aki'
    image(s).

Fixes minor typo:
'manifext' -> 'manifest'
