Now that we have untangled the data-structures, split the userspace
interface out into its own module. Userspace interfaces and drivers are
registered to the KCS BMC core to support arbitrary binding of either.

I have tried this patch on Intel EGS CRB with AST2600 A1 as the BMC.

We're ignoring failed ->add_device() calls here?

s/add/remove/

Might also want to differentiate the *_device() error messages from the
*_cdev() ones a bit more?

>+				kcs_bmc->channel, rc);
>+	}
>+	mutex_unlock(&kcs_bmc_lock);

...but this one is a bit incongruous, propagating the return value of
only the last ->remove_device() call.

(I'd have expected this to trigger a warning about returning a
potentially uninitialized 'rc', but in some manual testing it doesn't
seem to do so for me...not certain why.)

Thanks.

I'll look into it.
