There is an issue with Host name Write command with payload size of 132 bytes.
Currently ipmi driver limits max_xmit_msg_size to 63 bytes. Due to this
all IPMI commands with request size more than 63 bytes will not work.
This is seen with AMI OEM Host Name write command: payload 132 bytes.
When a DNS host name set is tried from host through SSIF interface, the name
gets truncated due to ipmi_ssif driver limiting the length to 63 bytes

As per IPMI Spec v2.0 section 12.3:
The maximum message size returned by the Get SSIF Interface Capabilities command
is 255 bytes.

This patch updates the max_xmit_msg_size to 255 in case SSIF_MULTI_n_PART.
