I don't see how the OpenStack version matters for this, so if Icehouse
does something special, ignore what I say.

Fedora's official F20 images support it through cloud-utils (i.e. the
cloud-utils-growpart package):
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora#clouds

Upstream of cloud-utils:
https://launchpad.net/cloud-utils

You can also find the kickstart file used to create the images here:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-cloud-base.ks

I think cloud-utils uses sfdisk (mbr) or sgdisk (gpt) for the actual
resizing, so anything those tools support should probably be supported
by growpart.
