This is the second 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. Before IronicNodeState class can be used again, it must be updated to store host stats as this is needed by ComputeCapabilitiesFilter to correctly filter hosts or this filter will return no hosts.

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.
