was there some platform on which IPMI was essential to bringup? It's really not that great to have otherwise.
I don't think coreboot can get around stroking the BMC the right way, much like with ACPI tables. It's part of the platform, so it needs to be dealt with.
And besides, it's nice to have the coreboot log fall out of ipmitool.
