Summary:  Poor handling of values that can only be set on certain platforms

Original Submission:  The file containg the current configuration of the BMC 
output from executing contains a comment for each option, listing all 
acceptable values. 

Many of the configuration options do not accept all of the values listed in the 
comments. I assume this is a platform specific situation. Currently attmpeting 
to set these values result in errors of the following types:

error: ipmi_kcs_set_user_access: 204: Invalid data field in Request.

error: ipmi_lan_set_ip_addr_source: 204: Invalid data field in Request.

These are cryptic and should be replaced with something similar to this:

"Unable to set requested <KEY> to <VALUE> either due to specific platform 
restrictions or value being invalid."
