Bug Description

This blueprint suggests to modify process of image transition to baremetal instances in group deployment process.
Functional description.
We can transform any image which is supported by qemu-nbd into device /dev/nbdX
- use DD to split it into fixed size files(32 MB for example) with assigned sequential number.
- compress each file by gzip(bz2, etc)
- calculate checksum by md5sum
- share files on http server
- Each instance, after downloading a particular file reports this Ironic API and becomes simple http server, to distribute the files.
We have two ways to implement it:
- Custom(modified Ironic API)
- Torrent.
