Can you make this modifiable at runtime by setting the mode to 0644?
That way people would not have to unload and then reload the module in
order to be able to fix their machines, as they usually don't know they
have a problem until they run their system for a while.

Good point, but let's first sort out if there's agreement about the general idea, and do the fine-tuning later. I may actually make sense to make this an array parameter so that different IPMI interfaces can have different settings (like force_kipmid).
