This change adds ironic.drivers.generic.GenericHardware which contains
useful defaults. Other hardware types are recommended to derive from it.
Add reasonable vendor-independent defaults to enabled_{deploy,raid,boot}_interfaces
configuration options. Add an entry point for "inspector" inspect implementation.
Also adding ironic.drivers.generic.ManualManagementHardware. This hardware
type is mostly introduced to make unit testing of GenericHardware possible.
However, it also has a potential use case: hardware not covered by
an existing driver or when an existing driver misbehaves. I personally
know people using fake_pxe currently in production for such use cases.

Ironic
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.
