------------------------------------------------------
Subject: ipmi: raise precedence of PNP based discovery mechanisms (ACPI, PCI)
From: Myron Stowe <myron.stowe@hp.com>

This raises the precedence of PNP discovery mechanisms, ACPI and PCI,
above SMBIOS and SPMI as indicated by Appendix C1 of the IPMI
specification.

Reference: IPMI - Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification
           v2.0, Document Revision 1.0, 05.05.2005 Markup

  Appendix C1 - Locating IPMI System Interfaces via SMBIOS Tables
      "Note that the settings that this structure reports may be over-
      ridden by `Plug-and-Play' reassignment by the OS.  Therefore, this
      structure should be used only when the interface cannot be
      discovered via `Plug-and-Play' discovery mechanisms incorporated
      in interfaces such as PCI and ACPI."
