in-band hardware management after IPMI

[Richard Hanley]

Hi Brad,

To Oskar's point, we have plans in the works to use Redfish on both a linux
host and BMCs.

I've just started investigating PLDM.  I think there are a handful of use
cases where RDE over PLDM could be useful, but we're still unsure about how
much effort it will take to integrate PLDM.

If we did move to PLDM, it would definitely be mixed in with Redfish.
