With Aasma's response, I am ok with this.

One thing, though.  This is the slave device on the I2C, not the master
device that has the issue, right?  So it's at least theoretically
possible to have one SMBus and one I2C IPMB device on the same master,
right?

For normal I2C, devices are in the device tree and get added to the
kernel device handling.  It looks like that is not being done in your
case.  But really, the "right" way to do this is to have the IPMB slaves
added as Linux devices and address them that way.  I'm not sure this
will ever be a real issue, but if it is, there will be some work to do
to fix it.
