Bug Description
From time to time, I want to access a node's BMC directly -- say, to use its own Web UI to launch a pseudo-KVM window or to power a node up or down via ipmitool. To do this, of course, I need to know the node's IP address or hostname, but obtaining this information from the MAAS Web UI requires clicking on "Edit node." It would be more convenient if this information were available in the node's main summary screen, along with its Ubuntu IP addresses and other such data.

This is somewhat tricky to do as you would want, because MAAS doesn't explicitly know at that level what a BMC is or what its address is; instead it is storing a power "type" and that type's parameters as a json blob in the DB. The Node edit page has smarts to decode the json blob based on information coming from the cluster about which power types it handles and their parameters.
Having said that, we could probably at least look for the "power_address" in the parameters as we try to keep those as generic as possible, so the listing could gain "power type" and "power address" columns.
Other suggestions given this information are welcome.
