- Unlike BDMs, ``block_device_info`` does not currently represent all
- disks that an instance might have. Significantly, it will not contain any
- representation of an image-backed local disk, i.e. the root disk of a
- typical instance which isn't boot-from-volume. Other representations used
- by the libvirt driver explicitly reconstruct this missing disk.
