ipmi: remove trydefaults parameter and default init
Parameter trydefaults=1 causes the ipmi_init to initialize ipmi through the legacy port io space that was designated for ipmi. Architectures that do not map legacy port io can panic when trydefaults=1. Rather than implement build-time conditional exceptions for each architecture that does not map legacy port io, we have removed legacy port io from the driver. Parameter 'trydefaults' has been removed. Attempts to use it hereafter will evoke the "Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter" message. The patch was built against a number of architectures and tested for regressions and functionality on x86_64 and ARM64. Signed-off-by: Tony Camuso <tcamuso@redhat.com> Removed the config entry and the address source entry for default, since neither were used any more. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

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.
