Hi,

Following two patches enable the feature to log IPMI events from ipmievd
daemon to the servicelog database by using a FIFO and a servicelog daemon.

        Add-support-to-log-IPMI-events.patch
        Log-IPMI-events-to-a-FIFO.patch

This patchset obsoletes the patchset sent by me on Dec 17th, 2008. With the
earlier patchset, ipmievd packs ipmi event in servicelog structure format.
New patchset removes this dependency. With the new patchset, ipmievd packs
ipmi event in the ipmievent structure and with few other information.
ipmilog (part of servicelog) converts this structure into servicelog
structure format.

First patch modifies ipmievd (part of ipmitool package) to write all of the
IPMI events to the FIFO.

Second patch creates a daemon (will be part of servicelog package) which
reads from the FIFO and logs them to servicelog database through servielog
APIs.

Servicelog overview:

The servicelog packages provides a library for logging service-related
events to the servicelog database, and a number of command-line utilities
for viewing the contents of the database. The concept of a serviceable event
is introduced; if an event occurs that requires a service action to repair
(such as a hardware failure that requires the replacement of a Field
Replaceable Unit (FRU), or an issue that requires a firmware update to fix),
the event is considered serviceable.
