The two functions work_on_disk and create_config_drive_partition contain a substantial part of the deployment logic. Previously we placed them in ironic-lib for re-using on the conductor side in the iSCSI deploy interface. Since the iSCSI deploy is going away, we can move this code to ironic-python-agent to simplify maintenance. Imports code from ironic_lib commit 9fb5be348202f4854a455cd08f400ae12b99e1f2.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
