So it seems that the code in the submitted tempest tests can run in a 
regular job if devstack is configured to enable ironic, but that this 
cannot be the default. So I propose that we create a regular 
devstack+ironic job that will run in the ironic and tempest gates, and 
run just the ironic tests. When third-party bare-metal results can be 
reported for ironic, tempest can then accept tests that require 
bare-metal.  Does any one have a problem with this approach?
