3.2.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 6368087e851e697679af059b4247aca33a69cef3 upstream.
When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the
ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex. This results in
incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures.
Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.
