IPMI refers to the Internet Protocol Management Interface which some (typically server) motherboards have in order to be able to manage them remotely from outside the Data Centers in which they live.

Without that kernel module present, you would not be able to interact with that interface, but it seems to me you don't have one, so nothing lost.

You can probably set a tunable

• type: loader
• name: ipmi_load
• value: NO

to prevent the IPMI module from being loaded even after updates. It's not necessary for operation.
