2016-07-19net/ncsi: NCSI AEN packet handlerGavin Shan
This introduces NCSI AEN packet handlers that result in (A) the currently active channel is reconfigured; (B) Currently active channel is deconfigured and disabled, another channel is chosen as active one and configured. Case (B) won't happen if hardware arbitration has been enabled, the channel that was in active state is suspended simply.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: NCSI response packet handlerGavin Shan
The NCSI response packets are sent to MC (Management Controller) from the remote end. They are responses of NCSI command packets for multiple purposes: completion status of NCSI command packets, return NCSI channel's capability or configuration etc. This defines struct to represent NCSI response packets and introduces function ncsi_rcv_rsp() which will be used to receive NCSI response packets and parse them.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: NCSI command packet handlerGavin Shan
The NCSI command packets are sent from MC (Management Controller) to remote end. They are used for multiple purposes: probe existing NCSI package/channel, retrieve NCSI channel's capability, configure NCSI channel etc. This defines struct to represent NCSI command packets and introduces function ncsi_xmit_cmd(), which will be used to transmit NCSI command packet according to the request. The request is represented by struct ncsi_cmd_arg. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-07-19net/ncsi: Resource managementGavin Shan
NCSI spec (DSP0222) defines several objects: package, channel, mode, filter, version and statistics etc. This introduces the data structs to represent those objects and implement functions to manage them. Also, this introduces CONFIG_NET_NCSI for the newly implemented NCSI stack. * The user (e.g. netdev driver) dereference NCSI device by "struct ncsi_dev", which is embedded to "struct ncsi_dev_priv". The later one is used by NCSI stack internally. * Every NCSI device can have multiple packages simultaneously, up to 8 packages. It's represented by "struct ncsi_package" and identified by 3-bits ID. * Every NCSI package can have multiple channels, up to 32. It's represented by "struct ncsi_channel" and identified by 5-bits ID. * Every NCSI channel has version, statistics, various modes and filters. They are represented by "struct ncsi_channel_version", "struct ncsi_channel_stats", "struct ncsi_channel_mode" and "struct ncsi_channel_filter" separately. * Apart from AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification), the NCSI stack works in terms of command and response. This introduces "struct ncsi_req" to represent a complete NCSI transaction made of NCSI request and response. link: https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0222_1.1.0.pdf Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
