[PATCH] Change ACPI IPMI support to "default y"

[PATCH] Change ACPI IPMI support to "default y"

[minyard]

From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@nebula.com>

The ACPI IPMI driver implements IPMI operation region support for the ACPI
core. Systems that declare ACPI operation regions may reference them at any
time, including during kernel initialisation. These accesses will fail
unless the ACPI IPMI driver is present, and undesirable system behaviour
may result. Set the default to Y in order to encourage distributions and
users to configure kernels to avoid awkward surprises.
