[PATCH] Build in IPMI on x86

The ACPI IPMI driver implements IPMI operation region support for the 
ACPI core. Systems that declare ACPI operation regions may reference 
them at any time, including during kernel initialisation. These accesses 
will fail unless the ACPI IPMI driver is present, and undesirable system 
behaviour may result. This can be avoided by building in the code rather 
than leaving it as modules.
