[Skiboot] [PATCH 0/6] Add and integrate an IPMI flash implmementation

[Andrew Jeffery]

Hello,

This is a follow-up to the RFC series I sent out earlier[1], addressing the
issues that I outlined in the cover letter and Stewart's comments.

In summary the series provides an alternative implementation of the "MBOX"
protocol, where it instead routes the messages over the IPMI BT interface. As
the AST LPC mailbox is no-longer involved "MBOX" is now a poor name, so it has
been renamed to the "Host I/O Mapping" (hiomap) protocol (with some potential
to manage more than just the LPC FW space / flash access).

The series has been tested on a Witherspoon system using both the IPMI and MBOX
transports (i.e. it correctly falls-back to MBOX when the IPMI command is
unavailable).

Please review!

Andrew

Since the RFC:

* Check for duplicate SEL command registrations
* Consolidated the 'read' and 'write' struct lpc_window members in the
  ipmi-hiomap context struct
* Clarified and fixed the locking
* Sequence number verification
* Clean up command data packing
* Add tests to ensure we're reading inside window bounds
