We needn't send CIS (Clear Initial State) command to the NCSI
reserved channel (0x1f) in the enumeration. We shouldn't receive
a valid response from CIS on NCSI channel 0x1f.

xchg() is used to set NCSI channel's state in order for consistent
access to the state. xchg()'s return value should be used. Otherwise,
one build warning will be raised (with -Wunused-value) as below message
indicates. It is reported by ia64-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.9.0.
net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_channel_monitor':
arch/ia64/include/uapi/asm/cmpxchg.h:56:2: warning: value computed is \
not used [-Wunused-value]
((__typeof__(*(ptr))) __xchg((unsigned long) (x), (ptr), sizeof(*(ptr))))
^
net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:202:3: note: in expansion of macro 'xchg'
xchg(&nc->state, NCSI_CHANNEL_INACTIVE);
This removes the atomic access to NCSI channel's state avoid the above
build warning. We have to hold the channel's lock when its state is readed
or updated. No functional changes introduced.

gcc-4.9 and higher warn about the newly added NSCI code:
net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_process_next_channel':
net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:1003:2: error: 'old_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
The warning is a false positive and therefore harmless, but it would be good to
avoid it anyway. I have determined that the barrier in the spin_unlock_irqsave()
is what confuses gcc to the point that it cannot track whether the variable
was unused or not.
This rearranges the code in a way that makes it obvious to gcc that old_state
is always initialized at the time of use, functionally this should not
change anything.

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.

This manages NCSI packages and channels:
* The available packages and channels are enumerated in the first
time of calling ncsi_start_dev(). The channels' capabilities are
probed in the meanwhile. The NCSI network topology won't change
until the NCSI device is destroyed.
* There in a queue in every NCSI device. The element in the queue,
channel, is waiting for configuration (bringup) or suspending
(teardown). The channel's state (inactive/active) indicates the
futher action (configuration or suspending) will be applied on the
channel. Another channel's state (invisible) means the requested
action is being applied.
* The hardware arbitration will be enabled if all available packages
and channels support it. All available channels try to provide
service when hardware arbitration is enabled. Otherwise, one channel
is selected as the active one at once.
* When channel is in active state, meaning it's providing service, a
timer started to retrieve the channe's link status. If the channel's
link status fails to be updated in the determined period, the channel
is going to be reconfigured. It's the error handling implementation
as defined in NCSI spec.

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.

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.
