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.
