Addressed Vadim's and Corey's comments.
1) I added support to instantiate several ipmb devices in the case
where there are multiple BMCs requesting data via IPMB to one
Satellite MC. Each instantiated device is named after the
IPMBus/I2C bus number it is associated with. I have documented all
this in IPMB.txt.
2) I think it might be confusing to use rol16 along with
GENMASK since it isn't as straight forward to read as a simple
(u8) typecast. I haven't really seen examples in the linux kernel
where this combo is being used as a substistute for typecasting;
while I have found multiple drivers where typecasting to (u8) is
being used: bt-bmc.c, kcs_bmc_aspeed.c, kcs_bmc_npcm7xx.c.
If you strongly feel it is worth it, I will change it.
3) I could eventually upstream the BMC driver I have been using
to test this ipmb-dev-int.
The reason I needed it is because the ipmb-dev-int driver is not
responsible for sending requests via I2C. It is only responsible
for receiving those requests and passing them to a user space program.
Once a response is received from the user space program, the driver
will forward that response back to the source requester.
The driver that I have on my bmc, is called ipmb-host. It works
hand in hand with ipmi_msghandler and ipmi_devintf to create
the /dev/ipmi0 device file to enable the use of ipmitool program
on the BMC. Once an ipmitool command is issued on the BMC, the
request message is sent to the Satellite MC. Once the BMC received
a response back from the Satellite MC, it will pass it to the
ipmitool program which will display the output to the user.
ipmb-dev-int does not need the msghandler not the devintf to be
loaded.

Support receiving IPMB requests on a Satellite MC from the BMC.

+============================
+IPMB Driver fro Satellite MC
+============================
+
+The Intelligent Platform Management Bus, or IPMB is an
+I2C bus that provides a standardized interconnection between
+different boards within a chassis. This interconnection is
+between the baseboard management (BMC) and chassis electronics.
+IPMB is also associated with the messaging protocol through the
+IPMB bus.
+
+The devices using the IPMB are usually management
+controllers that perform management functions such as servicing
+the front panel interface, monitoring the baseboard,
+hot-swapping disk drivers in the system chassis, etc...
+
+When an IPMB is implemented in the system, the BMC serves as
+a controller to give system software access to the IPMB. The BMC
+sends IPMI requests to a device (usually a Satellite Management
+Controller or Satellite MC) via IPMB and the device
+sends a response back to the BMC.
+
+For more information on IPMB and the format of an IPMB message,
+refer to the IPMB and IPMI specifications.
+
+IPMB driver for Satellite MC
+----------------------------
+
+ipmb-dev-int - This is the driver needed on a Satellite MC to
+receive IPMB messages from a BMC and send a response back.
+This driver works hand with the i2c driver and a userspace
+program such as OpenIPMI:
+
+1) It is an I2C slave backend driver. So, it defines a callback
+function to set the Satellite MC as an I2C slave.
+This callback function handles the received IPMI requests.
+
+2) It defines the read and write functions to enable a user
+space program (such as OpenIPMI) to communicate with the kernel.
+
+Load the IPMB driver
+--------------------
+
+The driver needs to be loaded at boot time or manually first.
+Then, you can instantiate the device as described in the document
+'instantiating-devices'.
+If you have multiple BMCs, each connected to your Satellite MC via
+a different I2C bus, you can instantiate a device for each of
+those BMCs.
+The name of the instantiated device contains the I2C bus number
+associated with it as follows:
+
+BMC1 ------ IPMB/I2C bus 1 ---------| /dev/ipmb-1
+ Satellite MC
+BMC1 ------ IPMB/I2C bus 2 ---------| /dev/ipmb-2
+
+For instance, you can instantiate the ipmb-dev-int device from
+user space at the 7 bit address 0x10 on bus 2:
+
+ # echo ipmb-dev 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device
+
+This will create device file /dev/ipmb-2, which can be accessed
+by the user space program. The device needs to be instantiated
+before running the user space program.

I would suggest to use defines here instead of magic numbers.
Same for '3' below.
