An application has come up that has a device sitting right on the IPMB
that would like to communicate with the BMC on the IPMB using normal
IPMI commands.
Sending these commands and handling the responses is easy enough, no
modifications are needed to the IPMI infrastructure. But if this is an
application that also needs to receive IPMB commands and respond, some
way is needed to handle these incoming commands and send the responses.
Currently, the IPMI message handler only sends commands to the interface
and only receives responses from interface. This change extends the
interface to receive commands/responses and send commands/responses.
These are formatted differently in support of receiving/sending IPMB
messages directly.

And get rid of the license text that is no longer necessary.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

This typo is quite common. Fix it and add it to the spelling file so
that checkpatch catches it earlier.

Given the obvious distinction between kernel and userspace supported
by uapi/, it seems unnecessary to comment on that.
