Currently, interface-management code in the ipmitool does not allow safe
interface re-opening (i.e. closing and opening again). It is because the session
is allocated in the interface setup callback while is freed in the close
callback. So, normal re-opening of the interface, which can be required for
example durng the HPM.1 upgrade, leads to segmentation fault. That's why in the
ipmi_hpmfwupg.c instead of normal closing interface, directly access the
interface data for subsequent re-opening.
Commit for Dmitry Bazhenov
This patch adds basic long message support for PICMG-based systems according to
the HPM.2 specification.
It also introduces APIs for setting inbound and outbound messages sizes per
selected interface.
This APIs are used in LAN and LAN+ interfaces to set autonomously detected
inbound and outbound message sizes.
The newly introduced APIs also replace the existing message size detection code
in several ipmitool commands in order to leverage the advantages of long message
support (HPM.1 upgrade, SDR acquring, FRU inventory read and write).
The Kontron-specific long message support is moved under a OEM option.
