Annie Lezil fdcb0922a5 Collect NIC name given by BIOS 
Adds an extra field ``biosdevname`` to network interface inventory
collected by ``default`` inspection collector (which collects the whole
inventory returned by hardware manager) of ironic-python-agent.

This feature requires biosdevname utility to collect the bios given NIC
names. The tooling module for tinyIPA is created for the same purpose.
For CoreOS IPA pxe images, biosdevname tooling module is limited,
because Docker repository is created and embedded into CoreOS pxe
images. The Docker repository uses debian to download the packages.
Debian does not have biosdevname package.

Adds an export variable TINYIPA_REQUIRE_BIOSDEVNAME. Set this
variable to ``true`` in your shell before building tinyIPA.

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.
