Import the Nova "ironic" driver from the Nova review queue. This Nova driver will not be present in the Icehouse release of Nova, but is required for Ironic functionality and can be installed as an out-of-tree driver.

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.
