d72a078647 Update the ipmi(4) driver:
- Split out the communication protocols into their own files and use
  a couple of function pointers in the softc that the commuication
  protocols setup in their own attach routine.
- Add support for the SSIF interface (talking to IPMI over SMBus).
- Add an ACPI attachment.
- Add a PCI attachment that attaches to devices with the IPMI interface
  subclass.
- Split the ISA attachment out into its own file: ipmi_isa.c.
- Change the code to probe the SMBIOS table for an IPMI entry to just use
  pmap_mapbios() to map the table in rather than trying to setup a fake
  resource on an isa device and then activating the resource to map in the
  table.
- Make bus attachments leaner by adding attach functions for each
  communication interface (ipmi_kcs_attach(), ipmi_smic_attach(), etc.)
  that setup per-interface data.
- Formalize the model used by the driver to handle requests by adding an
  explicit struct ipmi_request object that holds the state of a given
  request and reply for the entire lifetime of the request.  By bundling
  the request into an object, it is easier to add retry logic to the various
  communication backends (as well as eventually support BT mode which uses
  a slightly different message format than KCS, SMIC, and SSIF).
- Add a per-softc lock and remove D_NEEDGIANT as the driver is now MPSAFE.
- Add 32-bit compatibility ioctl shims so you can use a 32-bit ipmitool
  on FreeBSD/amd64.
- Add ipmi(4) to i386 and amd64 NOTES.

37b1ce132c Add an OpenIPMI mostly compatible driver. This driver was developed
to work with ipmitools.  It works with other tools that have an OpenIPMI
driver interface.  The port will need to get updated to used this.
I have not implemented the IPMB mode yet so ioctl's for that don't
really do much otherwise it should work like the OpenIPMI version.
The ipmi.h definitions was derived from the ipmitool header file.
The bus attachments are done for smbios and pci/smbios.  Differences
in bus probe order for modules/static are delt with.  ACPI attachment
should be done.

This drivers registers with the watchdod(4) interface

Work to do:
     - BT interface
     - IPMB mode

This has been tested on Dell PE2850, PE2650 & PE850 with i386 & amd64
kernel.

I will link this into the build on next week.

Tom Rhodes, helped me with the man page.
