For IPA we currently do a hard reboot at the end of the deployment, but that doesn't always play nice with some systems specially when they have to deal with UEFI. So this patch is changing the code in Ironic to actually tell the ramdisk to power off itself instead of hard powering off the machine from BMC. This will give the kernel the necessary time to finish sync'ing up whatever it has to sync before rebooting the node.

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.
