Max 4a85828462 Fix AGCH/PCH proportional allocation
Do not assume that 1 == BS_AG_BLKS_RES but take that information from
SI3. Note: due to current implementation quirks we activate channels
before SI3 obtained, than we deactivate channels upon receiving SI3 and
activate them again. This might not be necessary once we migrate to
proper OML state machines.

This affects lc15 and sysmo hw.

== Summary ==

This code implements Layer 2 and higher of a more or less conventional GSM BTS
(Base Transceiver Station) - however, using an Abis/IP interface, rather than
the old-fashioned E1/T1.

Specifically, this includes
 * BTS-side implementation of TS 08.58 (RSL) and TS 12.21 (OML)
 * BTS-side implementation of LAPDm (using libosmocore/libosmogsm)
 * A somewhat separated interface between those higher layer parts and the
   Layer1 interface.

Several kinds of BTS hardware are supported:
 * sysmocom sysmoBTS
 * Octasic octphy
 * Nutaq litecell 1.5
 * software-defined radio based osmo-bts-trx (e.g. B210)

== Known Limitations ==

As of August 20, 2015, the following known limitations exist in this
implementation:

=== Common Core ===
 * No Extended BCCH support
 * System Information limited to 1,2,2bis,2ter,2quater,3,4,5,6,9,13
 * No RATSCCH in AMR
 * No OML (TS 12.21) alarms yet (temperature, ...)
 * Only single-TRX BTS at this point
 * Will reject TS 12.21 STARTING TIME in SET BTS ATTR / SET CHAN ATTR
 * No support for frequency hopping
 * No reporting of interference levels as part of TS 08.58 RF RES IND
 * No error reporting in case PAGING COMMAND fails due to queue overflow
 * No use of TS 08.58 BS Power and MS Power parameters
 * No support of TS 08.58 MultiRate Control
 * No support of TS 08.58 Supported Codec Types
 * No support of Bter frame / ENHANCED MEASUREMENT REPORT

=== osmo-bts-sysmo ===
 * No CSD / ECSD support (not planned)
 * GSM-R frequency band supported, but no NCH/ASCI/SoLSA
 * All timeslots on one TRX have to use same training sequence (TSC)
 * No multi-TRX support yet, though hardware+L1 support stacking
 * Makes no use of 12.21 Intave Parameters and Interference
   Level Boundaries
 * Doesn't yet include MAC address in Abis/IP Identity message
 * MphConfig.CNF can be returned to the wrong callback. E.g. with Tx Power
   and ciphering. The dispatch should take a look at the hLayer3.
