The parameters for the ipmi_si kernel module need to be tweaked for IPMI detection to work on certain hardware.

Right now, on certain types of hardware (for instance our testing HP microservers), the parameters for the ipmi_si kernel module need to be tweaked in order for the IPMI detection to work. This is done by uncommenting IPMI_SI_PARAMS in contrib/preseeds_v2/enlist_userdata.

This is obviously sub-optimal, MAAS should handle this kind of trick transparently and not require the user to tweak a configuration file for the IPMI to work.

We need to investigate the possibility of having a list of parameters for the ipmi_si kernel module and try doing the IPMI detection for all these parameters in sequence.
