         you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.

+        Modern systems will usually expose IPMI interfaces via a discoverable
+        firmware mechanism such as ACPI or DMI. Older systems do not, and so
+        the driver is forced to probe hardware manually. This may cause boot
+        delays. Say "n" here to disable this manual probing. IPMI will then
+        only be available on older systems if the "ipmi_si_intf.trydefaults=1"
+        boot argument is passed.
