[Openstack] [OpenStack] [Fuel] Packing kernel drivers into target image.

Hi,

Steps 3 and 4 are not necessary (but at the same time they do not harm),
because configuration in step 2 is what really used to get packages for the
image.
Anyway, glad to see your issue resolved.

A bit more extended explanation on why steps 3 and 4 are not mandatory:
1. During Fuel master node provisioning, Nailgun initialization happens.
2. openstack.yaml file is used to create releases in Nailgun database
during initial setup, so user can create cluster based on them.
3. During cluster creation, releases (stored in database) are used as
templates for cluster configuration, it copies some default parameters from
releases model to cluster models, after that user can do configuration on
per-cluster basis. E.g. during provisioning and image build, repositories
are taken from environment configuration (which are stored in database).

Thanks,
