PXE bare-metal provisioning helper server
a part of blueprint general-bare-metal-provisioning-framework.
Implement nova-baremetal-deploy-helper.
This service listens for HTTP requests from baremetal deploy ramdisk,
formats the remote disk and writes an image to it, as part of baremetal
PXE provisioning.
blueprint improve-baremetal-pxe-deploy shows how we plan to improve this
process.
