The patch is adding a new property called "deploy_forces_oob_reboot" for the Agent deployment methodology. If the property is specified in the node's driver_info with the value of True, Ironic will call IPA to flush the file system and then issue a out-of-band reboot at the end of the deployment to the node to boot into the user's image. Some hardware/firmware may have problems doing a power off in-band (usually faulty hardware/bad firmware, see the bug this commit is fixing) therefore we need Ironic to do it directly in the BMC. This patch also closes one more consistency gap between the IPA deploy model and the now deprecated bash ramdisk one which used the hard reboot to finish the deployment by default.

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated 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 together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
