   ipmi: remove trydefaults parameter and default init (2016-07-27 
10:24:38 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Remove some old cruft that was disabled by default a long time ago.
No modern hardware should need this, and anybody who really
doesn't have something to automatically detect IPMI can add the
device by hand on the module commandline or hot add it.

This is small, but needs to get out because it is breaking ARM64 systems
if they enable this option in the config file.
