[PATCH] ipmi: make ipmi_class a static const structure

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Ivan Orlov <ivan.orlov0322@gmail.com>

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the ipmi_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.
