The base patches for baremetal changes touch so many places in nova in 
small ways that a feature branch is just going to mean continual rebase 
ninjaing. I don't think that it's really worth the effort. Given that 
it's often taken a while to respin the base patches in the first place, 
I don't think that's really viable.

Better to tackle those head long and just work them in the normal way.
