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. Sponsored by: IronPort Systems Inc. Inspired from: ipmitool & Linux

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Tn IPMI
(Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a standard for
monitoring system hardware by permitting generic code to detect
and monitor the sensors in a system.
The
.Tn IPMI
standard offers watchdog support, an FRU database, and other
support extensions.
It is currently being adopted by the makers of many
single board and embedded system manufacturers.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver in
.Fx
is heavily adopted from the standard and
.Lx
driver; however, not all features described in the
standard are supported.
.Sh IOCTL
Sending and receiving messages through the
.Nm
driver requires the use of IOCTLs.
The IOCTLs are used due to the complexity of
data sent to and from the device.
Currently the following IOCTLs are defined:
.Pp
.Dv IPMI_IOC_MAGIC
The magic IOCTL value for this interface.
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG_TRUNC
Like
.Dv RECEIVE_MSG
but if the message can not fit into the buffer, it
will truncate the contents instead of leaving the data
in the buffer.
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_RECEIVE_MSG
Receive a message.
Possible error values:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
No messages are in the process queue.
.It Bq Er EFAULT
An address supplied was invalid.
.It Bq Er EMSGSIZE
The address could not fit in the message buffer and
will remain in the buffer.
.El
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_SEND_COMMAND
Send a message to the interface.
Possible error values:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EFAULT
An address supplied was invalid
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Buffers could not be allowed for the command, out of memory.
.El
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_SET_MY_ADDRESS_CMD
Set the slave address for source messages.
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_GET_MY_ADDRESS_CMD
Get the slave address for source messages.
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_SET_MY_LUN_CMD
Set the slave LUN for source messages.
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_GET_MY_LUN_CMD
Get the slave LUN for source messages.
.Pp
.Ss Unimplemented IOCTLS:
.Pp
.Dv IPMICTL_REGISTER_FOR_CMD
Register to receive a specfic command
Possible error values:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EFAULT
An supplied address was invalid.
.It Bq Er EBUSY
The network function/command is already in use.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Could not allocate memory.
.El
.Pp
