The base protocol describes the properties of the implementation and
provide generic error management. The base protocol provides commands
to describe protocol version, discover implementation specific
attributes and vendor/sub-vendor identification, list of protocols
implemented and the various agents are in the system including OSPM
and the platform. It also supports registering for notifications of
platform errors.
This protocol is mandatory. This patch adds support for the same along
with some basic infrastructure to add support for other protocols.

The SCMI is intended to allow OSPM to manage various functions that are
provided by the hardware platform it is running on, including power and
performance functions. SCMI provides two levels of abstraction, protocols
and transports. Protocols define individual groups of system control and
management messages. A protocol specification describes the messages
that it supports. Transports describe the method by which protocol
messages are communicated between agents and the platform.
This patch adds basic infrastructure to manage the message allocation,
initialisation, packing/unpacking and shared memory management.
