Systems that declare ACPI operation regions may reference them at any time, including during kernel initialisation. These accesses will fail unless the ACPI IPMI driver is present, and undesirable system behaviour may result. Set the default to Y in order to encourage distributions and users to configure kernels to avoid awkward surprises.
