ipmi: Add support for IPMB direct messages
An application has come up that has a device sitting right on the IPMB that would like to communicate with the BMC on the IPMB using normal IPMI commands. Sending these commands and handling the responses is easy enough, no modifications are needed to the IPMI infrastructure. But if this is an application that also needs to receive IPMB commands and respond, some way is needed to handle these incoming commands and send the responses. Currently, the IPMI message handler only sends commands to the interface and only receives responses from interface. This change extends the interface to receive commands/responses and send commands/responses. These are formatted differently in support of receiving/sending IPMB messages directly.

/*
+ * SMI messages
+ *
+ * When communicating with an SMI, messages come in two formats:
+ *
+ * * Normal (to a BMC over a BMC interface)
+ *
+ * * IPMB (over a IPMB to another MC)
+ *
+ * When normal, commands are sent using the format defined by a
+ * standard message over KCS (NetFn must be even):
+ *
+ * +-----------+-----+------+
+ * | NetFn/LUN | Cmd | Data |
+ * +-----------+-----+------+
+ *
+ * And responses, similarly, with an completion code added (NetFn must
+ * be odd):
+ *
+ * +-----------+-----+------+------+
+ * | NetFn/LUN | Cmd | CC | Data |
+ * +-----------+-----+------+------+
+ *
+ * With normal messages, only commands are sent and only responses are
+ * received.
+ *
+ * In IPMB mode, we are acting as an IPMB device. Commands will be in
+ * the following format (NetFn must be even):
+ *
+ * +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+
+ * | NetFn/rsLUN | Addr | rqSeq/rqLUN | Cmd | Data |
+ * +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+
+ *
+ * Responses will using the following format:
+ *
+ * +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+------+
+ * | NetFn/rqLUN | Addr | rqSeq/rsLUN | Cmd | CC | Data |
+ * +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+------+
+ *
+ * This is similar to the format defined in the IPMB manual section
+ * 2.11.1 with the checksums and the first address removed. Also, the
+ * address is always the remote address.
+ *
+ * IPMB messages can be commands and responses in both directions.
+ * Received commands are handled as received commands from the message
+ * queue.
