Add a new method to generate the structure containing the PXE bootfile-name, server-ip-address, and tftp-server information. This information will be used to provide Neutron DHCP options to set up the PXE booting of nodes. This patch does not actually pass the data to Neutron, however.

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.
