I finally got a little time to look at this. I think I know what is
going on. The IPMI driver is trying to disable the interrupt bit in the
BMC, since the device doesn't support interrupts (at least according to
ACPI) and it's a bad idea to have a device trying to send interrupts in
that situation. That's done by clearing bit 0 in the global enables.
The IPMI spec, however, has a vague statement that a BMC may elect to
always have interrupts always enabled. It looks like that vendor
interpreted that statement to mean to give an error if you try to clear
that bit and the BMC has interrupts always enabled. This is bad because:
1. The device doesn't support interrupts, anyway. I could understand
if it didn't want to enable the bit, but not wanting to clear it?
2. It's very hard to write software to properly handle some error
situations if you can't disable the interrupts. I mean, how hard
could disabling interrupts be?
I'll try to figure something out.
