Reg new repository for Remote BIOS Configuration feature

[Sekar, Suryakanth]

Hi Deepak,

I added the OpenBMC mail list.

Regarding the code development. I have code based on the old design 
implementation.  so I have to do rework based on the new design.

My plan is once new repository is created  within  week. i will submit 
the skeleton code  with basic functionality.

Thanks

Suryakanth.S
