Public bug reported:

[Description]
This is related to bug 1281765 and forms the infrastructure to enable hardware enablement teams to write drivers for hardware not already supported in MAAS.

This is essential work to prevent these teams from blocking on the core
MAAS development team, and to make writing new drivers an order of
magnitude quicker and easier.

[Proposed Changes]
The feature is already half implemented; bi-directional comms between clusters and the region controller is now established but further work is required to add an API layer between these comms and the driver code.

The API layer will translate the various requirements that a driver
should provide into calls to the region, and vice versa.  Additionally,
all current code that is part of hardware enablement, such as
architecture types and power parameter choices, will be moved into new
driver code that will become part of each cluster controller.
