I've been working on adding an IPMI BMC as a virtual device under KVM. I'm
doing this for two primary reasons, one to have a better test
environment than
what I have now for testing IPMI issues, and second to be able to better
simulate a legacy environment for customers porting legacy software.

Then should we also emulate one AMM virtual device? one fsp virtual
device? one IVE virtual device?

I have no idea what those things are, so I don't know. I don't think I
know of any need for them. But vendors have all kinds of crazy names
for IPMI
Resending to the list, plan text only. Sorry about that...

Not kvm, but certainly it would make a good addition to qemu, which kvm
then uses.
Does anyone have any

That's true for any other card on a machine.
It has a separate power source for all intents and purposes. If you

I think we are getting a little out of hand here, and we are mixing up
concepts :).
There are lots of things IPMI *can* do (including serial access, VGA
snooping, LAN access, etc.) but I don't see any value it that. The main
thing here is to emulate the interface to the guest. OOB management
FWIW, the idea of an IPMI interface to VMs was proposed for libvirt
not too long ago. See:

Well, it wouldn't be to hard to do. I already have working emulation
code that does the IPMI LAN interface
