convertion printk() to pr_xxx() and removal of an unused module
parameter. Some small bug fixes and enhancements.
This also adds a post softdep from the IPMI core module to the
IPMI device interface. Many people have complained that the device
interface isn't automatically avaiable when IPMI is loaded. I don't
want to make the device interface mandatory, though, plenty of people
use IPMI internally (like with ACPI) and don't need a device interface
or the added possible security entry. A softdep should make it work
"out of the box" but allow people to not have it if they don't want it.
