v2 cover ipmi: Setting OS name as Linux in BMC

Quoted 4 lines

The idea here is fine, but it's probably more appropriate to do this in ipmi_msghandler.c, not ipmi_si_intf.c, since the latter only handles some interface types.

v2 patch - moving the code to ipmi_msghandler. Called soon after BMC is registered by the driver.

There is an option in IPMI spec using which BMC can be made aware of the OS name that it is talking to. IPMI_Spec-IPMI2_0E4_061209 - ref - 22.14a , .Set System Info.

This patch will update the OS name as "Linux" in BMC during IPMI Driver initialization. In the current patch declaration of the OS name is done only for the Volatile param.
