The release note says that a MAC and Client-ID are calculated for Infiniband nodes according to RFC 4390, but RFC 4390 actually says '"chaddr" (client hardware address) field MUST be zeroed.' (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4390#page-2). This commit changes the release note to say "a Mellanox-specific translation", which matches the comments in hardware_managers/mlnx.py.

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.
