Summary

Only ACPI attachment is supported for now, some others depend on smbios.

Test Plan

Compile module + kernel with options ipmi.

We should get someone with a supported machine to try it out.

sys/conf/files.arm64
364–367

Ah, this is a case where these should move to the common sys/conf/files

sys/modules/Makefile
606

I think there's a block for i386/amd64/arm64 already, and IMO we should put _ipmi in there

I wonder if there are machines that support any of the existing communication methods. eMAG would need acpi-i2c support…

sys/conf/files.arm64
364–367

We might need to be careful if these aren't needed on powerpc.

sys/modules/Makefile
606

It's also built on powerpc.

sys/modules/ipmi/Makefile
27–30

Could we merge the arm64 and x86 sections to reduce this duplication?

sys/conf/files.arm64
364–367

Oh yes, fair point.

Reorder SRCS blocks in ipmi/Makefile. Set _ipmi in arm64/amd64/i386 block (powerpc64 block untouched).

It's possible that there aren't any, enabling this now will help vendors confirm that. Certainly there is more to be done in this area.

sys/conf/files.arm64
364–367

Yeah, it is only ipmi.c that is common to all, so I opted just to duplicate it.

sys/modules/Makefile
606

I moved it to the other block but left powerpc alone. As usual with this file there is no winning.
