[PATCH] Add MODULE_ALIAS for autoloading ipmi driver on ACPI systems

From: jordan hargrave
Date: Thu Jul 26 2012 - 11:07:42 EST


The latest versions of the kernel drivers for ipmi can use ACPI to
determine the type of BMC device used in the system. The following
patch adds a module alias so that udev will autoload the ipmi_si
driver.
