Add I2C IPMB support
Some protocols over I2C are designed for bi-directional transferring messages by using I2C Master Write protocol. Like the MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) and IPMB (Intelligent Platform Management Bus), they both require that the userspace can receive messages from I2C dirvers under slave mode. This new slave mqueue backend is used to receive and queue messages, it will exposes these messages to userspace by sysfs bin file. Signed-off-by: Haiyue Wang <haiyue.wang@linux.intel.com>

+Linux I2C slave message queue backend
+=====================================
+
+:Author: Haiyue Wang <haiyue.wang@linux.intel.com>
+
+Some protocols over I2C/SMBus are designed for bi-directional transferring
+messages by using I2C Master Write protocol. This requires that both sides
+of the communication have slave addresses.
+
+Like MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) and IPMB (Intelligent
+Platform Management Bus), they both require that the userspace can receive
+messages from i2c dirvers under slave mode.
+
+This I2C slave mqueue (message queue) backend is used to receive and queue
+messages from the remote i2c intelligent device; and it will add the target
+slave address (with R/W# bit is always 0) into the message at the first byte,
+so that userspace can use this byte to dispatch the messages into different
+handling modules. Also, like IPMB, the address byte is in its message format,
+it needs it to do checksum.
+
+For messages are time related, so this backend will flush the oldest message
+to queue the newest one.

+
+How to use
+----------
+For example, the I2C5 bus has slave address 0x10, the below command will create
+the related message queue interface:
+
+ echo slave-mqueue 0x1010 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-5/new_device
+
+Then you can dump the messages like this:
+
+ hexdump -C /sys/bus/i2c/devices/5-1010/slave-mqueue
+
+Code Example
+------------
+*Note: call 'lseek' before 'read', this is a requirement from kernfs' design.*
+
+::
+
+ #include <sys/types.h>
+ #include <sys/stat.h>
+ #include <unistd.h>
+ #include <poll.h>
+ #include <time.h>
+ #include <fcntl.h>
+ #include <stdio.h>
+
+ int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+ {
+ int i, r;
+ struct pollfd pfd;
+ struct timespec ts;
+ unsigned char data[256];
+
+ pfd.fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);
+ if (pfd.fd < 0)
+ return -1;
+
+ pfd.events = POLLPRI;
+
+ while (1) {
+ r = poll(&pfd, 1, 5000);
+
+ if (r < 0)
+ break;
+
+ if (r == 0 || !(pfd.revents & POLLPRI))
+ continue;
+
+ lseek(pfd.fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
+ r = read(pfd.fd, data, sizeof(data));
+ if (r <= 0)
+ continue;
+
+ clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
+ printf("[%ld.%.9ld] :", ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);
+ for (i = 0; i < r; i++)
+ printf(" %02x", data[i]);
+ printf("\n");
+ }
+
+ close(pfd.fd);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
