So, now that the first patch has landed, I have rebased the other patches
and they've all passed jenkins and smoketest. Here is a summary of the
remaining work (*). Any feedback as far as what is needed to merge these
would be greatly appreciated.

These two patches add new functionality and don't touch any existing code.
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/10726/  -  Added separate bare-metal
MySQL DB
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/11088/  -  Added pxe back-end bare-metal

This one replaces the old baremetal driver. The changes are contained in
nova/tests/baremetal/ and nova/virt/baremetal/, and it adds one file to
/etc/rootwrap.d/, but otherwise it does not touch anything else.
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/11354/  -  Updated bare-metal
provisioning framework

This is a minor patch to add a new scheduler host manager class, which I am
hoping will be easily accepted.
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/11357/  - Added bare-metal host manager


Regards,
Devananda


(*) There is one other baremetal patch on review,
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/11366/, but we are working on significant
changes and will submit those separately.
