Subject[PATCH] IPMI driver updates, part 1b
It looks like part 1 of the IPMI driver updates was a little too big to 
get through. So I've split it up. Part 1a and part1b must both be
applied. Here's the original message. Also, this is for the 2.6.3 kernel.

It has been far too long since the last IPMI driver updates, but now all
the planets have aligned and all the pieces I needed are in and all seem
to be working. This update is coming as four parts that must be applied
in order, but the later parts do not have to be applied for the former
parts to work.

This first part does basic updates to the IPMI infrastructure. It adds
support for messaging through an IPMI LAN interface, which is required
for some system software that already exists on other IPMI drivers. It
also does some renaming (in preparation for one of the later patches)
and a lot of little cleanups.

FYI, IPMI is a standard for monitoring and maintaining a system. It
provides interfaces for detecting sensors (voltage, temperature, etc.)
in the system and monitoring those sensors. Many systems have extended
capabilities that allow IPMI to control the system, doing things like
lighting leds and controlling hot-swap. This driver allows access to
the IPMI system.
