Matt Domsch noticed a startup race with the IPMI kernel thread, it was
possible (though extraordinarly unlikely) that a message could come in
before the upper layer was ready to handle it. This patch splits the
startup processing of an IPMI interface into two parts, one to get ready
and one to actually start the processes to receive messages from the
interface.

Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper
bus and device support.
It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.
The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.
This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using
that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
