Julia Kreger 8d0b556e3d Fix spurious CI job failures around partition images
Cirros partition images have some underlying limitations,
meaning it is not ideal for any step which requires the image
to hae commands executed in it to perform operations, such as
mounting additional filesystems in UEFI mode, or installing
grub in BIOS mode.

This is because cirros images are an unpacked ramdisk, in other
words, the posted disk image *has no* contents on the root
filesystem of the image. While we attempt to unpack[0] this as well,
this can also fail creating false failures resulting in check
jobs failing and then working on recheck.

As the constraint is the same as the BIOS mode check, and there
is no realistic fix, this change removes the boot mode check and
thus always disables partition image testing with tempest *when*
cirros is in use.

note 0: We presently unpack using a virtual machine launch so it
takes place with the same process as when cirros starts, however
linux doesn't always boot, and the tools don't really determine
if that is the case or not, and if we retool it, we should just
move to a direct extraction and image re-pack.

Overview

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
