1) while true; do cat /proc/ipmi/0/version; done
2) modprobe -rv ipmi_si ipmi_msghandler ipmi_devintf

[82904.328118] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Reading versin from /proc need bmc device struct available. So in this patch
we move add/remove_proc_entries between ipmi_bmc_register and ipmi_bmc_unregister.
