Gavin Shan a0509cbeef net/ncsi: Allow to extend NCSI request properties
There is only one NCSI request property for now: the response for
the sent command need drive the workqueue or not. So we had one
field (@driven) for the purpose. We lost the flexibility to extend
NCSI request properties.

This replaces @driven with @flags and @req_flags in NCSI request
and NCSI command argument struct. Each bit of the newly introduced
field can be used for one property. No functional changes introduced.

Gavin Shan 6389eaa7fa net/ncsi: NCSI command packet handler
The NCSI command packets are sent from MC (Management Controller)
to remote end. They are used for multiple purposes: probe existing
NCSI package/channel, retrieve NCSI channel's capability, configure
NCSI channel etc.

This defines struct to represent NCSI command packets and introduces
function ncsi_xmit_cmd(), which will be used to transmit NCSI command
packet according to the request. The request is represented by struct
ncsi_cmd_arg.
