We can test the ironic services, database, and the driver interfaces by
using our "fake" driver within a single devstack VM today (I'm not sure the
exercises for all of this have been written yet, but it's practical to test
it). OTOH, I don't believe we can test a PXE deploy within a single VM
today, and need to resume discussions with infra about this.

There are some other aspects of Ironic (IPMI, SOL access, any
vendor-specific drivers) which we'll need real hardware to test because
they can't effectively be virtualized. TripleO should cover some (much?) of
those needs, once they are able to switch to using Ironic instead of
nova-baremetal.
