This is the relevant bits:

Handle 0x2600, DMI type 38, 18 bytes
IPMI Device Information
	Interface Type: KCS (Keyboard Control Style)
	Specification Version: 2.0
	I2C Slave Address: 0x10
	NV Storage Device: Not Present
	Base Address: 0x0000000000000CA8 (I/O)
	Register Spacing: 32-bit Boundaries

Note the '32-bit' boundaries.  I think ACPI doesn't support that for its 
attachment (well, it does if they specify each port as a separate thing in 
_CRS).  Can you get acpidump -d output?
