subject: Research on IPMI interface.

Audumbar:

Instead of looking into using the OpenIPMI API, I think it may be more useful to pull these numbers directly out of the kernel.  EALB already has three components, server, client, and the kernel module, so instead of adding another component, temperature readings can be added to the kernel module.  If I had to guess this will also decrease latency of reading the sensors also.  The IPMI code is located in $KERNEL_SRC/drivers/char/ipmi.
