Previously, all dhcp was done explicitly through Neutron. This commit adds an interface for dhcp providers, currently implemented by a Neutron provider and a noop provider. The provider can be set in the dhcp_provider config option, and defaults to neutron.

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.
