Subject: IPMI: fix occasional oops on module unload
From: Corey Minyard <minyard@xxxxxxx>
Olaf Kirch of SuSE tracked down a problem where module unloads of the IPMI
driver would occasionally result in Oopses. He tracked that down to a
variable that wasn't always initialized properly in some situations. This
patch initializes that variable. Olaf sent a patch that kzalloc-ed the
data, but this structure is large enough that I would perfer to not do
that. Thanks Olaf!
