Dmitry Tantsur 3deb25a3ce Wait for the interfaces to get IP addresses before inspection 
In the DIB build the DHCP code (provided by the dhcp-all-interfaces element)
races with the service starting IPA. It does not matter for deployment itself,
as we're waiting for the route to the Ironic API to appear. However, for
inspection it may result in reporting back all NIC's without IP addresses.
Inspection fails in this case.

This change makes inspection wait for *all* NIC's to get their IP addresses up
to a small timeout. The timeout is 60 seconds by default and can be changed
via the new ipa-inspection-dhcp-wait-timeout kernel option (0 to not wait).

After the wait inspection proceedes in any case, so the worst downside
is making inspection 60 seconds longer.

To avoid waiting for NIC's that are not even connected, this change extends the
NetworkInterface class with 'has_carrier' field.

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.
