The way to store "/var/log/ipmi_sel" has some issues:
1. The upstream ipmid does not support parsing this file. The
implementation is in https://github.com/openbmc/intel-ipmi-oem.
2. If the user uses intel-ipmi-oem to support the ipmi_sel log, it
introduces many other ipmi commands that are likely not needed.
3. It separates the ipmi_sel and redfish event logs. E.g. in Intel's
implementation, an SEL sent from BIOS to BMC is stored as redfish
event log in "/var/log/redfish", and no ipmi sel is created.
The way I proposed[1] could solve the above issues:
1. The upstream ipmid already supports parsing the log entries;
2. No intel-ipmi-oem is needed.
3. The log could be represented as ipmi sel or redfish event logs
(with -Dredfish-dbus-log=enabled)
