Vaguely related to enabling this by default, on one SuperMicro machine
here ipmi(4) seems to take an eternity to attach (maybe 10 or 15 seconds).
There's 23 sensors attached to that ipmi(4) - I suspect it's busy doing
some sort of sample thing but I've not taken the time to figure out
exactly what it is doing...

Cheers,
Simon.
