obmcutil is slow, nonsensical output

[Kenneth Wilke]

We see the same behavior on the Barreleye servers, the obmcutil is quite slow but we've gotten used to it. The poweron and poweroff commands usually return either this message or a python backtrace if the backend dbus services are still warming up.

root at palmetto:~# time obmcutil 2>&1 > /dev/null

real    0m3.301s
user    0m3.030s
sys     0m0.230s

root at palmetto:~# obmcutil poweron
 = None

The above is really confusing as to what is actually going on... does
that mean success? Does that mean there's no power? Does that mean no
action was taken?
