Hi, Corey

   The following is updated in the patch set.
    a. Change the function prototype of ipmi_put_smi_info.
       The corresponding parameter is changed from "
		Ipmi_put_smi_info(int iface) to ipmi_put_smi_info(struct ipmi_smi_info
*data)

    b. Remove the incorrect refcount in previous patch set.


But for the issues about pulling data from the current source, very
sorry that I still statically construct them in the corresponding
smi_info as I meet with the following two issues when trying to pull
data from the current source.
	1. no specific info is contained in smi_info. For example: ACPI handle
is important to the SI_ACPI type. But the corresponding handle is stored
in smi_info. 
        b. Need to add a lot of If/else macro definitions to handle the
corresponding IPMI device type.

Thanks.
