The latest patchset you sent me does indeed allow IPMI to function.  So,
awesome!

I attempted to disable IPMI via the Dell BIOS tool (DRAC) and I couldn't
see any driver detection of this status.  So, when I add this:

I don't see any change in behavior with IPMI enabled or disabled via the
Dell "DRAC" ROM Menu.
