Partition images can sometimes contain a /boot folder structure
event he assets for EFI booting on that filesystem. Which is a
good thing. The conundrum is that Ironic does not handle this
properly and potentially replaces the bootloader in this sequence
such that grub2-install is used instead of signed bootloader assets.
As such, we should be preserving the assets and using them from
a partition image much like we do when we have a wholedisk
image and can identify the assets.
Now we will preserve the EFI boot assets, copy them to the new EFI
boot partition, and call the EFI setup methods to manage the EFI
nvram.
Note, this change also splits the logic path out that performs the
end call of the EFI boot manager into a reusable method but does
not retool all of the testing as it is intertwined in the
install_grub2 testing.
Also adds some additional debug logging, as much of the bootloader
installation code has multiple fallback/cleanup points which makes
it difficult to debug from logs.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
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.
