As I recall, the driver needs to be ported to 2.6.28-rc. Both it and
ibmpex try to call hwmon_device_register on the bmc device, which causes
problems if someone tries to load both. I think there was a
general unease with putting it in without some more code review. The
author doesn't seem to be pushing for its inclusion. If nothing else, I
did a quick port to 2.6.28-rc5 and it miscategorizes a power meter as a
current sensor and the fan RPM sensors totally don't work. I might be
able to clean it up a bit and then maybe we can push it into the
scary-upcoming-drivers tree?
Not to mention the usual "just use ipmitool" argument. :)
