The Linux driver needs to match responses to their requests, so the driver needs to keep a reference to the requests that we've sent. The current implementation is very simple: we just keep one pointer, and require that there's only one outstanding request. To have multiple outstanding requests, our options here are that we either: 1) duplicate the si_intf's queuing code in the powernv driver; or 2) move the queuing code from the si_intf component to the generic IPMI msghander, and use that (so all drivers can assume a single outstanding request) Corey has suggested the latter, which will only require a minimal change to the powerpv IPMI driver.
