This patch is making the neutron DHCP provider to explicitly check if the request is coming from iPXE before ACK'ing the PXE request with the iPXE script (When iPXE is enabled only). Also, update the documentation that explains how to configure neutron for iPXE to create the "ipxe" tag based on the DHCP user class or DHCP option 175 (as before).

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.
