At this point, I think it is best to just completely pull out all concept
of "default addresses" in the IPMI driver. The defaults were disabled
by default in 3.16, this is as good an impetus as any to just get rid
of them.

If you want, you can do a patch, or I can pull them out if you would
prefer that.

Thanks,
