You can set them by doing something like "ipmi_si.<parm>=<val>" on the 
kernel command line.  For instance, "ipmi_si.ports=0xca0".

If you have a newer kernel, you can also hotmod the parameters and 
dynamically add a driver.  Search for 
/sys/modules/ipmi_si/parameters/hotmod in Documentation for details.

If you want to do that, it's fine.  It might be a good idea to simplify 
systems that don't have an automatic mechanism to configure it.  It 
might be simpler to specify a string like in the hotmod format.
