+ * Go into a mode where the driver will not autonomously attempt to do

+ * interrupts, and it will expect that commands will complete. It
+ * will not automatcially check for flags, events, or things of that
+ * nature.
+ *
+ * This is primarily used for firmware upgrades. The idea is that
+ * when you go into firmware upgrade mode, you do this operation
+ * and the driver will not attempt to do anything but what you tell
+ * it or what the BMC asks for.
+ *
+ * Note that if you send a command that resets the BMC, the driver
+ * will still expect a response from that command. So the BMC should
+ * reset itself *after* the response is sent. Resetting before the
+ * response is just silly.
+ *
+ * If in auto maintenance mode, the driver will automatically go into
+ * maintenance mode for 30 seconds if it sees a cold reset, a warm
+ * reset, or a firmware NetFN. This means that code that uses only
+ * firmware NetFN commands to do upgrades will work automatically
+ * without change, assuming it sends a message every 30 seconds or
+ * less.
+ *
+ * See the IPMI_MAINTENANCE_MODE_xxx defines for what the mode means.
