Matt Domsch noticed a startup race with the IPMI kernel thread, it was
possible (though extraordinarly unlikely) that a message could come in
before the upper layer was ready to handle it.  This patch splits the
startup processing of an IPMI interface into two parts, one to get ready
and one to actually start the processes to receive messages from the
interface.
