For now manually back port the ipmi device driver and then install
the latest ipmitool from ports.  Then you can run ipmitool via the
local interfaces.  Interface that are support are SMIC and KCS.
SSIF is in progress and dealing with some strange ACPI defintions
that put a hole in the address space of the HW :-(  I haven't really
looked at the BT interface yet.
