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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
