This is the last in a series of patches to prepare Ironic for the removal of capabilities in Nova HostManager. IronicHostManager used to rely on capabilities info to decide which host state class to use, VM or baremetal. This has been broken since host capabilities reporting were removed in Nova, resulting in Nova HostState class always being used. This patch fixes the detection logic in IronicHostManager to correctly choose IronicHostState class for use with baremetal nodes. Tests are added to verify that the correct class is used for both vm and baremetal nodes. In reality, the new detection logic will not start to deliver the correct HostState class until the Nova HostManager change has landed.

Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated 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.
