Linus Torvalds c45be7c420 Bug fixes for the IPMI driver
I apologise for this being late, I wanted to leave it in the next tree
 for a while, and the work I did came in late, but I really don't want to
 ship 7.0 with these issues.   It's been in the next tree since Feb 13,
 and I had to rebase on Feb 23 to add a missed review and to fold in a
 fix that didn't make sense by itself.
 
 This mostly revolves around getting the driver to behave when the IPMI
 device misbehaves.  Past attempts have not worked very well because I
 didn't have hardware I couldmake do this, and AI was fairly useless for
 help on this.
 
 So I modified qemu and my test suite so I could reproduce a misbehaving
 IPMI device, and with that I was able to fix the issues.
