Adds a deploy step ``clean_uefi_nvram`` to remove unrequired extra UEFI NVRAM boot entries. By default any entry matching ``HD`` as the root device, or with a ``shim`` or ``grub`` efi file in the path will be deleted, ensuring that disk based boot entries are removed before the new entry is created for the written image. The ``match_patterns`` parameter allows a list of regular expressions to be passed, where a case insensitive search in the device path will result in that entry being deleted.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
