dmi_table counting in ipmi_si_intf.c

[Vernon Mauery]

I am working on getting one of the IBM blades to use ipmi and have run
into a problem.  The driver doesn't load because it says it can't find
the device.

dmidecode shows that there are 39 entries and that the last one is the
BMC.  I looked into dmi_table and noticed that it parses the table by
length and by number of entries.  But I found that it goes from i=1 to
i<num.  This causes it to skip the last entry in the table.  Is there a
reason it is i=1 instead of i=0?  or for that matter i<num instead of
i<=num?

Ensure that all dmi table entries get parsed.
