[Freeipmi-devel] tweaked Sun workaround text

[Dave Love]

As far as I can tell, the Sun workarounds are generic in ELOM and ILOM,
and haven't been fixed in the current versions.  I have x4100 with ILOM
1.0 and 2.0, x2200M2 with ELOM 2.0, and x4200m2 and x4500 with ILOM 2.0.
All seem to need the workarounds, and have the latest firmware apart
from ILOM 1.0.

I think this change to the text makes it clearer, and it's worth keeping
the Sun bits together.

By the way, ELOM is EOLed -- we're stuck with its problems on most of
our kit, sigh -- but there is an ILOM 3 in the works; perhaps that fixes
the bugs, and I'll try to check if other people here get newer kit with
it on.
