net/ncsi: Package and channel management
This manages NCSI packages and channels: * The available packages and channels are enumerated in the first time of calling ncsi_start_dev(). The channels' capabilities are probed in the meanwhile. The NCSI network topology won't change until the NCSI device is destroyed. * There in a queue in every NCSI device. The element in the queue, channel, is waiting for configuration (bringup) or suspending (teardown). The channel's state (inactive/active) indicates the futher action (configuration or suspending) will be applied on the channel. Another channel's state (invisible) means the requested action is being applied. * The hardware arbitration will be enabled if all available packages and channels support it. All available channels try to provide service when hardware arbitration is enabled. Otherwise, one channel is selected as the active one at once. * When channel is in active state, meaning it's providing service, a timer started to retrieve the channe's link status. If the channel's link status fails to be updated in the determined period, the channel is going to be reconfigured. It's the error handling implementation as defined in NCSI spec.
