[PATCH 6/9] ipmi: si start transaction hook

From: Corey Minyard
Date: Fri Oct 21 2005 - 09:55:21 EST


Some commands, on some system BMCs, don't respond at at all. This is
seen on Dell PowerEdge x6xx and x7xx systems with IPMI 1.0 BT
controllers when a "Get SDR" command is issued, with a length field of
0x3A, which happens to be the length of about SDR entries. If another
length is passed, this command succeeds.

This patch adds general infrastructure for receiving commands before
they're passed down to the low-level drivers, such that they can be
completed immediately, or modified, prior to being sent to
->start_transaction().
