I'm not aware of either a virtualized or just pass-through access to IPMI
hardware in VMware products or I'd have been happily usig it many times 
over to allow me to test ESXi SNMP agent RFC 2790 implementation in a VM[1]

If there are none, lets just make sure the MIB module doesn't preclude
adding that...
