[Bug 1359285] [NEW] bug #43027, ipmi-locate only works on ia64

[Narinder Gupta]

Public bug reported:

USE_EFI is only defined in ipmi-locate if the ARCH is ia64. A distro (RHEL7 for example) delivered version of freeipmi will need to run on UEFI and legacy systems. 
I've attached a patch that fixes this issue and another issue where the SMBIOS= line in /sys/firmware/efi/systab is terminated with a "linefeed" (0x0a) and not a NULL(ox00)
