 /*
+ * SMI messages
+ *
+ * When communicating with an SMI, messages come in two formats:
+ *
+ * * Normal (to a BMC over a BMC interface)
+ *
+ * * IPMB (over a IPMB to another MC)
+ *
+ * When normal, commands are sent using the format defined by a
+ * standard message over KCS (NetFn must be even):
+ *
+ *   +-----------+-----+------+
+ *   | NetFn/LUN | Cmd | Data |
+ *   +-----------+-----+------+
+ *
+ * And responses, similarly, with an completion code added (NetFn must
+ * be odd):
+ *
+ *   +-----------+-----+------+------+
+ *   | NetFn/LUN | Cmd | CC   | Data |
+ *   +-----------+-----+------+------+
+ *
+ * With normal messages, only commands are sent and only responses are
+ * received.
+ *
+ * In IPMB mode, we are acting as an IPMB device. Commands will be in
+ * the following format (NetFn must be even):
+ *
+ *   +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+
+ *   | NetFn/rsLUN | Addr | rqSeq/rqLUN | Cmd | Data |
+ *   +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+
+ *
+ * Responses will using the following format:
+ *
+ *   +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+------+
+ *   | NetFn/rqLUN | Addr | rqSeq/rsLUN | Cmd | CC   | Data |
+ *   +-------------+------+-------------+-----+------+------+
+ *
+ * This is similar to the format defined in the IPMB manual section
+ * 2.11.1 with the checksums and the first address removed.  Also, the
+ * address is always the remote address.
+ *
+ * IPMB messages can be commands and responses in both directions.
+ * Received commands are handled as received commands from the message
+ * queue.
