Take a more nuanced approach. Remove the fixed-sized buffer from ipmi_rs and replace it in the various instances with a pointer to a buffer that is sized appropriately for that interface's max transfer size.

ID:497 Raw command to allow responses larger than 256 bytes

All the interfaces use a static struct ipmi_rs to capture a response.
The struct has an embedded buffer that is a fixed size for all
interfaces, regardless of the interface's max transfer size. Bumping up
the buffer size to the maximum of all transfer sizes would increase
memory usage by too much, so this change sets a static buffer for each
of the interfaces that is the right size for that interface.

This does increase the BSS slightly, but only by ~57kB (in my build).
