Gordan, thanks for the correction. It should be i2c-tools.
MAILBOX I2C actually requires 2 components: i2c-xgene-slimpro (should already be in 4.2) and xgene-slimpro-mailbox (upstream, but only in linux-next).

I am following up on this.
You need to use freeipmi for inband. Ipmitools is for out-of-band only.

$ yum install i2-tools
I think this should be i2c-tools, not i2-tools.
$ yum install freeipimi
$ insmod i2c-dev
$ i2cdetect –l
i2c-0 smbus MAILBOX I2C SMBus adapter << Use this one with freeipmi
i2c-1 i2c AST i2c bit bus I2C adapter
I'm going to hazard a guess that MAILBOX I2C support isn't in the mainline 4.4.x branch. Has it been pushed upstream?
