The 3.19.0-27.29 kernel broke something with our RAID array.... but it
seems like IPMI is working.

I can't keep the system down for too long... will try again on friday
afternoon...

  ipmi_si module spams kernel log with "ipmi_si 00:05: Could not set the
  global enables: 0xcc."

Bug description:
  Hello,

  after upgrading my system to 14.04.3 LTS and installing the Vivid-LTS-
  Enablement-Stack the kernel log of my system is spammed with the
  following message by the "impi_si" kernel module:

  ...
  [ 2268.244383] ipmi_si 00:05: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.
  [ 2269.451974] ipmi_si 00:05: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.
  [ 2270.252290] ipmi_si 00:05: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.
  [ 2271.452749] ipmi_si 00:05: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.
  [ 2272.253057] ipmi_si 00:05: Could not set the global enables: 0xcc.
  ...

  This bug is already known to the ipmi_si kernel module maintainer and
  seems to be fixed in 4.0+ kernels.

  Is it possible to backport this fix to the Vivid 3.19 kernel?

  Please see this mail thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/openipmi-
  developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg02425.html

  IPMI functionality seems to be unaffected by this bug but as I said it
  spams the kernel log and that is rather annoying.
