Yes, more or less.  I was actually thinking of specifying the
manufacturer on the command line, but reading it via IPMI would be
better.  I can poke around and see what I think would be the best way to
do it and run it by the list, or if you've got a good idea of the
details already, I could start there.  I've got a couple more things on
my plate to get to before that, so there's no rush.
