Mapping a raw disk to guest VM?
Is there a way to map a host(KVM) local SATA disk to a guest in OpenStack? (Bypassing Cinder, I guess)

yes, using ephemeral disk
When you create a flavor you can specify a ephemeral disk. Then when the instance is launched, select the flavor with the ephemeral disk. The guest VM should see a /dev/sdb device.
nova flavor-create --ephemeral 10 --swap 1024 --is-public True testflavor5 64 1024 30 4
run lvmdiskscan to view the device or fdisk -l
