Some BSS that connect to the proxy do not continue to perform the
RESET procedure after a timeout. In order to resurrect them, we
simply start a RESET procedure.
We now actually are much more in line with what the specification
says. We track the blocked/unblocked state, we don't accept
signalling messages on PTP functional entities (and vice versa),
and we don't simply create a BVC context with messages other than
BVC-RESET.
Don't allocate a LLC Entity just because BSSGP passes any random
SAPI/TLLI up to us. We can only do this for XID and UI frames
of the GMM SAPI.
Furthermore, add more comments and debug messages.
I want to have a shorter lchan summary but with the same
config parameters. Change the current code to be a method
that takes a dump routine as parameter.
Add the rach emergency call allowed (0|1) setting and implement
it by directly manipulating the t2 value. It is the third bit which
is set to 0 when emergency calls are enabled and to one if it is
only enabled for access classes 11 to 15.

In the previous code we used a static fake_nsvc structure in
case we needed to send a message to an unknown NSVC for which
we don't have a real 'struct nsvc'. However, since we now have
a rate_ctr_group hanging off the nsvc, the fake structure didn't
have that.
So now we keep a nsi->unknown_nsvc around to be used whenever
we need a nsvc but don't have a real one. The gprs_ns_vty.c
code explicitly does not list that NSVC in 'show ns'
Every NS-VC now has a set of counters for incoming and outgoing
number of packets and bytes.
We also split the VTY part of the gprs_ns.c implementation into gprs_ns_vty.c
to make sure the protocol can actually be used without the VTY code being
present.
A 'rate counter' is a counter that counts events but also keeps
track of the rate of events (per second, minute, hour and day).
'rate counters' are generally abstracted in 'rate counter groups',
which are instances of a 'rate counter group description'. This
way we can have e.g. a description describing what kind of counters
a BTS (or TRX) has - and we can then create one instance of that
group for every BTS or TRX that exists.
As only NS-UNITDATA messages are ever passed into the Gb Proxy,
we need to do the msgb_free() at a much higher point in the calling
stack, i.e. inside the NS protocol layer. This means it is now
the same logic as in OpenBSC itself.
The old idea was to take a msgb from gbprox_rcvmsg() and then
modify it and finally send it all the way down to nsip_sendmsg()
to the remote peer.
However, this introduces memory management difficulties, as we then
have to distinguish three cases:
* msgb was sent to a remote peer
* we sent some error message and need to free the msgb
* we need to make n-1 copies in case of a BSSVC-RESET from the SGSN
So instead we now simply always copy the message if we pass it on.
All messages received by gbprox_rcvmsg() are msgb_free()d in the very
same routine
All messages allocated by tx2peer() or tx2sgsn() are freed after
nsip_sendmsg()
