commit 40112ae7504745799e75ef418057f0d2cb745050
Author: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org>
Date:   Tue Apr 21 12:24:03 2009 -0700

    ipmi: test for event buffer before using
    
    The IPMI driver would attempt to use the event buffer even if that
    didn't exist on the BMC.  This patch modified the IPMI driver to check
    for the event buffer's existence before trying to use it.
