A recent linux-pm commit (bleeding-edge branch, commit
73fe8b8784bbc7c792144c0a1711a5c9ff219288) by Matthet Garrett
has defaulted IPMI support to "y". The rational is to avoid
early access failures during the kernel initialisation. The
commit states:
"The ACPI IPMI driver implements IPMI operation region
support for the ACPI core. Systems that declare ACPI
operation regions may reference them at any time,
including during kernel initialisation. These accesses
will fail unless the ACPI IPMI driver is present, and
undesirable system behaviour may result. Set the default
to Y in order to encourage distributions and users to
configure kernels to avoid awkward surprises."
Apparently this affects the Dell R720 and HP DL385 and maybe
some Ciscos too. So it seems pertinent to set our default
configs appropriately.
