I haven't heard anything about these patches. Any comments, good or
bad? Has anyone tried these?
Thanks,

I've been working on adding an IPMI BMC as a virtual device under KVM. I'm
doing this for two primary reasons, one to have a better test
environment than
what I have now for testing IPMI issues, and second to be able to better
simulate a legacy environment for customers porting legacy software.
I think we are getting a little out of hand here, and we are mixing up
concepts :).
There are lots of things IPMI *can* do (including serial access, VGA
snooping, LAN access, etc.) but I don't see any value it that. The main
thing here is to emulate the interface to the guest. OOB management

I have no idea what those things are, so I don't know. I don't think I
know of any need for them. But vendors have all kinds of crazy names
for IPMI
ding basic management would be easy.

Look at drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c. It has code to send panic
event over IMPI. The code is pretty complex. Of course if we a going to
implement something more complex than simple hypercall for panic
notification we better do something more interesting with it than just
saying "panic hap
