Stevedore 0.14 introduced a new paramter to the private method ExtensionManager._load_one_plugin(). This broke our unit test suite, and this patch adds that parameter to the call. This patch supports both Stevedore < 0.14 and >= 0.14. Once we can pin the version to >= 0.14, we should remove support for the old-style call to _load_one_plugin. For reference, we are directly calling this private method to provide a mock-able extension manager and a corresponding fake extension for testing the Conductor and the various extensions it loads.

Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
