Cory, all,

On our ARM boot farm, we've started seeing the following:

It appears to be unrelated to the failure this original message was
about.  However, the failure brought the above to our attention. :)

Is the IPMI driver used on ARM?  Documentation/IPMI.txt indicates a
dependency on ACPI, but that isn't reflected in the Kconfig.  At any
rate, it seems rather unhappy.  :(

Jason.
