This patch adds the CLEANWAIT state. When a node is in CLEANWAIT means that the ramdisk is executing a clean step (async). When the node is in CLEANING state it means that the conductor is executing a clean step (sync). This is the first patch of a series that aim to make nodes in CLEANWAIT abortable. We still need a way need some way to tell if a step is abortable; aborting steps could have negative effects such as bricking things.

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 in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
