So after some testing what I found was that after installing ipmitool a reboot was required, after the reboot the ipmi_devintf module was loaded.
When doing a first boot, only ipmi_si and ipmi_msghandler is loaded... installing ipmitool complains that /dev/ipmi* doesn't exist. After rebooting the ipmi_devintf module is loaded fine and ipmitool works. Changed this to Fix Committed. Thanks Stefan!
