      When installing to the baremetal platform, the root device hints now accept links in /dev/disk/by-path/ as the deviceName (in addition to the canonical device in /dev/). This allows users to specify a hint that is both stable across reboots and consistent across similar hardware.

      In many cases, the /dev/disk/by-path symlink is the only way to stably identify a disk without having prior knowledge of the hardware from some external source (e.g. a spreadsheet of disk serial numbers). It should be possible to specify this path in the root device hints.
      Metal³ now allows these paths in the `name` hint (see OCPBUGS-13080), so the IPI installer's implementation using terraform must be changed to match.
