Adam Gandelman cb82dabdca Do not pass PXE net config from bootloader to ramdisk 
All PXE templates currently pass network configuration from the
bootloader to the ramdisk via a kernel parameter,
ip=$ip:$tftp-server:$gateway:$netmask. The current deploy-ironic
ramdisks built by DIB uses this to bring up networking manually,
but this behavior exists there for non-PXE deployments where DHCP
is unavailable.  We ideally want ramdisks to use DHCP to allow pushing
more than just ip/gw/nm. This updates PXE templates to not pass net config,
since DHCP is assumed to be functioning for all PXE env.  Without the
ip= parameter, the ramdisk has no easy way to resolve the boot server's
address.  To signal where to callback to, a boot_server parameter has
been added that points back to the TFTP server address.

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.
