One way to implement this might be to allow one to register a BMC device, and then trigger that BMC to do a fresh boot, which would trigger auto-enlistment and hopefully associate the existing BMC device to it.

Another way to do it, which would be even cheaper, would be to just have an API which took BMC credentials and triggered a power event without even touching the database.

Right now we are having to do remote boots of the machine via IPMI manually which poorly duplicates functionality in MAAS (for instance, it only supports IPMI).
