The support for ipmid_callback_t is only for backwards compatibility. Part
of the change in the API was to accommodate OEM/Group extensions, yes;
however, the intention is also to provide a cleaner API in general.

That's fine, but in that case it should not go in the callback; it should
be maintained and enforced by net-ipmid when it looks up a handler.
