Intel NodeManager drivers

Overview

This driver implements support of Intel NodeManager platform via ironic vendor interface methods. Those methods are implemented as sending raw bytes over IPMI. Hardware with Intel NodeManager 1.5 or above is required, feature must be enabled via Flash Image Tool. The driver detects internal addresses of NodeManager device automatically. The main term for NodeManager is policy, which can be power, thermal or boot time. Each policy identified by policy_id (integer number from 0 to 255). Maximum numbers of policies which can be set at the same time limited by platform. For more detailed information see full specification [1].

The staging-nm hardware types extends the ipmi hardware type with support for the staging-nm vendor interface.
