libmctp: Import libmctp library handling MCTP protocol
The Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) is a protocol defined by
the DMTF Platform Management Component Intercommunications sub-team of the
DMTF Pre-OS Workgroup. MCTP is designed to support communications between
different intelligent hardware components that make up a platform
management subsystem that is provides monitoring and control functions
inside a managed system. DMTF standard "DSP2016"
This library is intended to be a portable implementation of the Management
Component Transport Protocol (MCTP), as defined by DMTF standard "DSP0236",
plus transport binding specifications.
MCTP has been designed to carry multiple types of manageability-related
traffic across a common medium. The base MCTP specifications define
message types for supporting the initialization and configuration of MCTP
itself, and to support vendor-specific messages over MCTP.
Other message types, such as message types to support a Platform Level
Data Model (PLDM).
The source is located here: https://github.com/openbmc/libmctp and use as
is, without any update.
The libmctp code is integrated into the folder ./libmctp as a set of
sources, compiled if the compiler flag CONFIG_PLDM is set.
A config file is required. Not being generated automatically by 'configure',
it must be edited manually to match the environment.
