docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST
No new doc should be added at the main Documentation/ directory.
Instead, new docs should be added as ReST files, within the
Kernel documentation body.

If you have multiple BMCs, each connected to your Satellite MC via
|
||||
a different I2C bus, you can instantiate a device for each of
|
||||
those BMCs.
|
||||
The name of the instantiated device contains the I2C bus number
|
||||
associated with it as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
BMC1 ------ IPMB/I2C bus 1 ---------| /dev/ipmb-1
