The intention was to direct it to Greg, but I guess I didn't express
that through the mail headers.
I am expecting contributions - for example there is at least one other
major BMC vendor which also ships PECI controllers.
From my perspective, the pieces that make up a BMC are pretty loosely
connected (at least from the kernel perspective - scattered all over
the kernel tree), so I don't see how that would work in practice.
