[PATCH] Add sysfs support to the IPMI driver

[Corey Minyard]

The IPMI driver has long needed to tie into the device model (and I've 
long been hoping someone else would do it).  I finally gave up and spent 
the time to learn how to do it.  I think this is right, it seems to work 
on on my system.

Add support for sysfs to the IPMI device interface.
