A set of races was discovered around the propagation of HIOMAP protocol
BMC status events during BMC shutdown. In particular the change impacts
the design of the DBus transport defined in the protocol specification,
as signalling of both acknowledgeable and non-acknowledgeable events
could not be made atomic.

A particular case where this matters is when the daemon is terminated,
at which point it should simultaneously clear BMC_EVENT_DAEMON_READY and
set BMC_EVENT_PROTOCOL_RESET. The DBus interface as designed required
this be done as two separate messages, which lead to races propagating
the complete state update to the host during shutdown of ipmid.
