Example local.conf from Ironic docs uses $HOME/ironic-bm-logs as VM log dir.
On some systems (e.g. Fedora) user's home is accessible only to the owner by
default which causes "permission denied" errors when starting VMs because
QEMU domains are running as non-root user ("qemu" in Fedora).
Extend the documentation with note about possible problems with custom
log directory set using IRONIC_VM_LOG_DIR.

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI together to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
