Subject: [PATCH 8/8] ipmi: Change timeout and event poll to one second

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@...sta.com>

The timeouts in IPMI are in the 1-5 second range in message handling,
so a 1 second timeout is a reasonable thing to do.  This should help
with reducing power consumption on idle systems.
