[PATCH] IPMI: fix occasional oops on module unload
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!
