Mario Villaplana e46f75ed09 Support psutil 5.0.1
Backport notice: followup removed support for older psutil, this backport keeps compatibility for older releases for environments which want to run newer versions than frozen upper-constraints on stable branch.

Original master (Ocata) message:
An upper-constraints update to psutil caused IPA to start using psutil
5.0.1. We had a hard-coded assumption that psutil would be major version
1 or 2. This allows us to use the updated psutil and attempts to simply
fail gracefully if an unrecognized psutil version is used.

README.rst

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
