[PATCH 8/8] ipmi: Change timeout and event poll to one second
From: Corey Minyard
Date: Mon May 03 2010 - 09:38:58 EST
From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx>
The timeouts in IPMI are in the 1-5 second range in message handling,
so a 1 second timeout is a reasonable thing to do. This should help
with reducing power consumption on idle systems.
