Bug Description

Problem:
There are two cases of reboot:
1. Reboot by Ironic.
2. Reboot by users who logging into the instance.
There is no problem for case one. The issue is in case two. And this is something related to AMT firmware. So the solution is deploy amt_driver with localboot.

Why:
This is because AMT firmware doesn't support setting pxe as boot device persistent. Once reboot by the user, the node will boot from disk.

Solution:
Enable pxe_amt driver with localboot and enroll nodes with boot_option=local
