This patch extends the ncsi-netlink interface with two new commands and
three new attributes to configure multiple packages and/or channels at
once, and configure specific failover modes.
NCSI_CMD_SET_PACKAGE mask and NCSI_CMD_SET_CHANNEL_MASK set a whitelist
of packages or channels allowed to be configured with the
NCSI_ATTR_PACKAGE_MASK and NCSI_ATTR_CHANNEL_MASK attributes
respectively. If one of these whitelists is set only packages or
channels matching the whitelist are considered for the channel queue in
ncsi_choose_active_channel().
These commands may also use the NCSI_ATTR_MULTI_FLAG to signal that
multiple packages or channels may be configured simultaneously. NCSI
hardware arbitration (HWA) must be available in order to enable
multi-package mode. Multi-channel mode is always available.
If the NCSI_ATTR_CHANNEL_ID attribute is present in the
NCSI_CMD_SET_CHANNEL_MASK command the it sets the preferred channel as
with the NCSI_CMD_SET_INTERFACE command. The combination of preferred
channel and channel whitelist defines a primary channel and the allowed
failover channels.
If the NCSI_ATTR_MULTI_FLAG attribute is also present then the preferred
channel is configured for Tx/Rx and the other channels are enabled only
for Rx.

The concepts of a channel being 'active' and it having link are slightly
muddled in the NCSI driver. Tweak this slightly so that
NCSI_CHANNEL_ACTIVE represents a channel that has been configured and
enabled, and NCSI_CHANNEL_INACTIVE represents a de-configured channel.
This distinction is important because a channel can be 'active' but have
its link down; in this case the channel may still need to be configured
so that it may receive AEN link-state-change packets.

NCSI hardware arbitration allows multiple packages to be enabled at once
and share the same wiring. If the NCSI driver recognises that HWA is
available it unconditionally enables all packages and channels; but that
is a configuration decision rather than something required by HWA.
Additionally the current implementation will not failover on link events
which can cause connectivity to be lost unless the interface is manually
bounced.
Retain basic HWA support but remove the separate configuration path to
enable all channels, leaving this to be handled by a later
implementation.

This moves all of the netdev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, ...) messages over to
netdev_dbg.
As Joe explains:
> netdev_dbg is not included in object code unless
> DEBUG is defined or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set.
> And then, it is not emitted into the log unless
> DEBUG is set or this specific netdev_dbg is enabled
> via the dynamic debug control file.
Which is what we're after in this case.

This makes all of these messages netdev_dbg. They are still useful to
debug eg. misbehaving network device firmware, but we do not need them
filling up the kernel logs in normal operation.

The current HNCDSC handler takes the status flag from the AEN packet and
will update or change the current channel based on this flag and the
current channel status.
However the flag from the HNCDSC packet merely represents the host link
state. While the state of the host interface is potentially interesting
information it should not affect the state of the NCSI link. Indeed the
NCSI specification makes no mention of any recommended action related to
the host network controller driver state.
Update the HNCDSC handler to record the host network driver status but
take no other action.

The NCSI driver is mostly silent which becomes a headache when trying to
determine what has occurred on the NCSI connection. This adds additional
logging in a few key areas such as state transitions and calling out
certain errors more visibly.

This improves AEN handler for Host Network Controller Driver Status
Change (HNCDSC):
* The channel's lock should be hold when accessing its state.
* Do failover when host driver isn't ready.
* Configure channel when host driver becomes ready.

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.

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.
