@wido thanks for the comments. It seemed easier to pass the arguments to
the oobm subsystem, there is a immutable map of option,string being returned
this is why all configuration arguments are string. Also, the driver would
convert the port to a string to execute this in a forked process (that calls
`ipmitool`). For this reason, all configs are passed as strings and left to how
the driver would like to use them or interpret them.
