This series implements a small interface for userspace-controlled
message tag allocation for the MCTP protocol. Rather than leaving the
kernel to allocate per-message tag values, userspace can explicitly
allocate (and release) message tags through two new ioctls:
SIOCMCTPALLOCTAG and SIOCMCTPDROPTAG.
In order to do this, we first introduce some minor changes to the tag
handling, including a couple of new tests for the route input paths.
As always, any comments/queries/etc are most welcome.
Cheers,
Jeremy
