Mike Turek 2877fc53d4 Use lshw in place of dmidecode for the default hardware manager 
Currently the generic hardware manager uses dmidecode to get the
total physical memory and system details. This patch switches the
generic hardware manager to use lshw, as it is capable of reading
more than DMI [0]. This enables systems that do not support DMI
to use the generic hardware manager, such as IBM Power systems.

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.
