It looks like the DMI information has been falsified. It can't really be slave address 0x00, I don't think. However, there is a good chance that it really does have some KCS BMC in it, if this section is populated. Perhaps your platform vendor can tell you what the REAL base address and slave address are (from a Technical Product Spec maybe), and then the openipmi driver can take those values as parameters.
