 From ironic perspective there is no issue, but there is a critical question to 
decide: when Ironic+Placement is used, which of them acts as the final 
authority? If Ironic, then we need to teach Placement to talk to its Allocation 
API when allocating a bare metal node. If Placement, then we need to support 
Allocation API talking to Placement. I suspect the latter is saner, but I'd like 
to hear more opinions.

In both cases we'll need something that syncs nodes from Ironic to Placement 
when there is no Compute to do it.
