This commit adds a new vendor-passthru 'boot_into_iso' in iscsi_ilo driver to attach and boot from an ISO located in Glance or an HTTP(s) URL. This vendor passthru can be invoked only when the node is in manage state or in maintenance mode. This vendor-passthru can help in debugging issues with bare metal node.

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