ipmi: attempt to register multiple SIs of the same type
Some odd systems may have multiple BMCs, and we want to be able to support them. Let's make the assumption that if a system legitimately has multiple BMCs then each BMC's SI will be of the same type, and also that we won't see multiple SIs of the same type unless we have multiple BMCs. If these hold true then we should register all SIs of the same type.
