collecting GUIDs

[Andreas B. <and...@mu...>]

I was busy learning the last week, but I should be able to work more
on the subsystem again...

I have put some code to collect GUIDs from connected nodes on CVS.  It
is not complete yet, but it works somehow.  On a bus reset, the code
reads the GUIDs from all connected active nodes and stores them in a
list.  Entries in those list can be referenced through a function and
used to fill in the target address in a hpsb_packet.

As said it's not complete yet, things missing:

- Doesn't work reliably with multiple 1394 cards in the system.
- No way to dereference/free handles yet.
- Should retry transactions.
- Reliable node offline report.
- Some interface from raw1394


It should give a first idea of how to lock on a node with a certain
GUID.  This would be especially interesting to the folks implementing
SBP-2.
