Details:

USE_EFI is only defined in ipmi-locate if the ARCH is ia64. A distro (RHEL7
for example) delivered version of freeipmi will need to run on  UEFI and
legacy systems.

I've attached a patch that fixes this issue and another issue where the
SMBIOS= line in /sys/firmware/efi/systab is terminated with a "linefeed"
(0x0a) and not a NULL(ox00)
