Ilya Etingof c7a42bdbff Ensure text-only console in devstack
Apparently, now days system boot chain is tempted to display
fancy things on the console. While enjoyable, in non-text mode
libvirt guest console can't make it to the log file.

This change tries to ensure pure text mode kernel console in
PXE and Redfish booting by disabling any graphics in the VM
and in guest kernel.

Note that it's not only kernel that can control display mode,
but EFI boot loader as well.

For getting on VM's text console in devstack one could use
`virsh console --devname serial1 node-0` or just add `<graphics>`
section to `virsh edit node-0` XML.

Overview

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.

Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
