    [PATCH] IPMI: Add maintenance mode · b9675136
    Corey Minyard authored
    Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a
    while.  This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that
    nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad
    things to happen when in firmware update mode.
    
    Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware
    command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds.  It also add a
    manual override either way.
