OK, makes sense to do. The in_drain state partially shadows the value of
!smi->cur_msg; we may be able to use that instead.

This means that we'll no longer warn when getting an IPMI message after
the first successful send occurs, but do we really care about that
anyway? We could just drop those silently...

Cheers,


Jeremy
