Removed IPMI and PXE manual server tests because MAAS testing will cover this.

Removed IPMI and PXE manual server tests because MAAS testing will cover this.

This should affect only 14.04, not 12.04.

Hi Rod,

Can you elaborate on the part about 'only 14.04'? Currently we don't have a good way to release changes to whitelists independently for different releases so if we merge this now, it's going to impact on 12.04 testing as well.

Better hold off, then. Jeff wants those tests removed for 14.04, but
not for 12.04, so we need some way to do that. I'm still new enough
that I don't fully understand the build and release process for
checkbox, so I'm referring this to Jeff for his comments.

-  Skip this test if this system ONLY uses shared management/ethernet ports OR if this system does not have a BMC (Management Console)
-  1. Select Yes if you successfully used IPMI to remotely power this system off and on using the dedicated management port.
-  2. Select No if you attempted to use the dedicated management port to remotely power this system off/on and it failed for some reason.
