How different are they. Can you give human readable example?
Here are the examples from the IPMI spec. I lied a little bit,
there are actually four standard interfaces (one can be on an
SMBus), but it's a different thing to manage, I think.
Does your patch produce all of the four variants you've identified?
What fields (if any) are dynamic within the variants?

My patch does not do the SMBus variant, as that would need to go into an
SMBus device, and I haven't worked at all on an IPMI device to do this.
The fields that are dynamic are:
_STR - A string identifying the interface type (optional, but recommended)
_CRS - This can be a I/O or a memory address, and an interrupt may or
may not be here. I have not done the work to add the memory bus, as my
qemu patch does not support that yet.
_IFT - An integer that identifies the interface type.
_SRV - Identifies the IPMI spec version the interface complies to. It's
generally best to use the actual version; if you used a newer version
then an old driver may not work with it.
If more than one interface is added, then the _UID field becomes
important, but there's no support for that at the moment.
