Thanks for reporting this.  I think there is a missing initialization,
can try try the attached patch?

That patch should fix the oops, which should allow things to be
initialized properly, which should hopefully let the IPMI driver work :).

If not, we need to probe some more.  When you load the ipmi_smb module,
can you specify "dbg_probe=1 dbg=7" to have it spit out more debugging info?
