  MAAS fails to power up machines when installing a node.  This is not happening every single time so this is a racy issue.
  
  [Impact]
  
  This affects corner cases when nodes are told by MAAS to be started when
  they haven't finished their shut down process. However, the fix enables
  MAAS to tell the nodes to make the power action regardless of their
  current state.
  
  This is a corner case because before deploying nodes maas ensures that
  all nodes are turned off, however, there can be cases on which nodes
  have not finished their turn off process after commissioning, and the
  nodes are told to be deployed.
  
  [Test Case]
  To reproduce, simply do the following:
  
  1. Install maas and enlist/commission IPMI nodes.
  2. turn on manually one of the nodes.
  3. With maas, deploy the node.
  4. With the fix, the node will be rebooted and the installation will proceed. Without the fix the installation will never start.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal.  This change has been tested in the Lab and manual testing. It ensures that the machine gets powered off/on regardless of its current state power state, allowing MAAS to perform the action always, when requested. The Server Team and MAAS team are committed to provided appropriate fixes in event of a regression.
