[PATCH] ipmi: fix panic generator ID
The IPMI specifcation says the generator ID is 0x20, but that is for bits 7-1. Bit 0 is set to specify it is a software event. The correct value is 0x41. Without this fix, panic events written into the System Event Log appear to come from an "unknown" generator, rather than from the kernel.
