I don't think it particularly makes sense to expose the config drive via NVDIMM - it wouldn't solve any of the problems that config drive has today and it'd be less portable wrt guest OS. Rather I was suggesting we should consider NVDIMM as a transport for the role device tagging metadata standalone, as that could provide us a way to live-update the metadata on the fly, which is impractical / impossible when the metadata is hidden inside the config drive. But before doing that though, I think it'd be worth understanding whether metadata-over-vsock support would be acceptable to people who refuse to deploy metadata-over-TCPIP today.
