Corey,

I have an application (getevent) that issues a ReadEventMsgBuffer
command (cmd=0x35, netfn=0x06).  This works ok with other drivers (Intel
imb, LanDesk, freeipmi), but not with the OpenIPMI driver. 

Test case on MVL CGE 4.01:
Using /dev/ipmi0 it returns get error status ret=16 
Using /dev/imb emulation, it returns status ret=1 (mapped in ipmi_imb)

In looking through the driver source, I see that
ipmi_si.c:i_ipmi_request() has a comment wrt
IPMI_READ_EVENT_MSG_BUFFER_CMD that "We don't let the user do these
since we manage the sequence numbers."  

Is there another way to do this directly via /dev/ipmi0?  Does the
OpenIPMI library have a function to simulate this, or is there a way for
the driver to handle these commands in a virtual way?
