Some type of BMCs don't support an IPMI option that disable the behavior of boot device timeout, which makes them never get booted from PXE. This patch extends the fix [1] by adding a configuration option, which provides the default ipmi behavior. [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/616053 Additionally revising the variable/setting names based upon review feedback and discussion that took place during the 20181210 weekly ironic team meeting.

The IPMI hardware type unconditionally instructed the BMC to not
|
|
automatically clear boot flag valid bit if Chassis Control command not
|
|
received within 60-second timeout (countdown restarts when a Chassis
|
|
Control command is received). Some BMCs do not support setting this; if
|
|
sent it causes the boot to be aborted instead. For IPMI hardware type a
|
|
new driver option ``node['driver_info']['ipmi_disable_boot_timeout']`` can
|
|
be specified. It is ``True`` by default; set it to ``False`` to bypass
|
|
sending this command. See `story 2004266
|
|
<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004266>`_ for additional
|
|
information.
