ipmi: provide support for FRUs
This patch provides a simple FRU support for the BMC simulator. FRUs are loaded from a file which name is specified in the object properties, each entry having a fixed size, also specified in the properties. If the file is unknown or not accessible for some reason, a unique entry of 1024 bytes is created as a default. Just enough to start some simulation. These commands complies with the IPMI spec : "34. FRU Inventory Device Commands".
