This change moves inspection documentation to its own file (similar to RAID and cleaning). It also adds a list of capabilities we *might* discover during inspection. It's partly based on the iLO spec [1], partly - on the in-band capabilities discovery RFE [2]. The vendor-specific bits are missing on purpose. The goal here is to have a common subset of capabilities to be discovered by all (or the majority) of the drivers (including in-band inspection).

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 together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
