Bug Description

The driver already checks for pending config jobs during setting boot device, but it would be way more user-friendly to do this during validate()

We more or less agreed that validate() method should not call to BMC, as it's called in synchronous fashion in too many places. Can you think of ways to check it without accessing BMC from validate?

Other way could be with a periodic task which puts its result to diver_internal_info. But there will be a lag between enrolling and properly validating it. WDYT Dmitry?

Why not check it before every operation? I understand it sounds uncool, but we have a similar thing proposed to AMT (for waking up the interface), so it might be the approach for now..
