gcc issues the following warning:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: In function â\80\98init_ipmi_siâ\80\99:
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:1729: warning: â\80\98data.irqâ\80\99 may be used uninitialized in this function

This is indeed a bug.  data.irq is completely uninitialized in some code
paths.  Worse than that, data from a previous decode_dmi() run can easily
leak through successive calls.
