This reverts commit 258d963e406c512bb90295c700ee22e4609abcd0. Remove the mbr/gpt choice from softraid features for now, as it cannot be directly used without additional commits, to be pushed soon. Furthermore, it could even lead to instance spawn misconfiguration, if the disk label specified in instance_info cannot fit with the boot mode + partitioning layout (example: you build softraid over gpt, then you lose the mbr gap. Thus you need an additional bios boot partition, in BIOS boot mode, or an esp, in UEFI boot mode, outside the raid, for grub to install itself inthere, to be able to assemble raid and find root device correctly).

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
For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.
Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
