The way I see it, it depends where we have the node.

So Registered/Unregistered means the node is or is not in the 'nova 
baremetal-list' (Ironic). (we can't really have unregistered unless we 
can call autodiscover that just shows not registered nodes)
Registering is done via 'nova baremetal-node-create'

And Provisioned/Unprovisioned(Deployed, Booted, Mapped ??) means that 
the node is or is not in 'nova list'
Provisioning is done via 'nova boot'. Not sure about calling it mapping.
Basically, deciding what role the baremetal have is: if it was booted 
with image that is considered to be Compute Node image, then it's 
compute node. Right?
Other thing is whether the service it provides runs correctly.
