[RFC v1 0/4] ipmi_bmc: framework for IPMI on BMCs

2017-08-07 Thread Brendan Higgins
This introduces a framework for implementing the BMC side of the IPMI protocol, roughly mirroring the host side OpenIPMI framework; it attempts to abstract away hardware interfaces, such as Block Transfer interface hardware implementations from IPMI command handlers. It does this by implementing t
