From 9206880198589670dfc33feb9d2e903c3492701f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Minyard Date: Sun, 1 May 2005 08:59:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] IPMI: fix for handling bad IPMI DMI data Ignore the bottom bit of the base address from the DMI data. It is supposed to be set to 1 if it is I/O space. Few systems do this, but this enables the ones that do set it to work properly.
