According to 3GPP TS 44.060, section 12.24, GPRS Cell Options IE
contains two parameters related to 11 bit Access Burst support:
- ACCESS_BURST_TYPE - whether the 8 or 11 bit format shall be
used in the PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message, the PTCCH/U block,
PACKET CONTROL ACKNOWLEDGMENT and the PS HANDOVER ACCESS
messages on the PRACH (if present).
- EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST - whether EGPRS capable MSs shall
use EGPRS PACKET CHANNEL REQUEST message for Uplink TBF
establishment on the RACH or on the PRACH (if present).
The VTY option 'gprs 11bit_rach_support_for_egprs' actually controls
the second parameter - EGPRS_PACKET_CHANNEL_REQUEST, though it may
be hard to understand this from its name and description.
This patch is actually a group of tightly related changes:
- deprecate 'gprs 11bit_rach_support_for_egprs (0|1)':
- update its description to avoid any possible confusion,
- print a warning if it's used in non-EGPRS mode,
- print a warning if it's still used;
- introduce '[no] gprs egprs-packet-channel-request':
- ensure that it can only set / printed in the EGPRS mode;
- take a chance to clean-up / rename the related struct members:
- 'supports_egprs_11bit_rach' -> bool 'egprs_pkt_chan_request',
- remove 'supports_egprs_11bit_rach' from 'gprs_cell_options'
because we already have 'ext_info.use_egprs_p_ch_req' there.

Move all of libbsc/ into osmo-bsc/, and separate/move some implementations to
allow linking from utils/* and ipaccess/* without pulling in unccessary
dependencies.
Some utilities use gsm_network and gsm_bts structs, which already include data
structures for fairly advanced uses. Move initialization that only osmo-bsc
needs into new bsc_network_init() and bsc_bts_alloc_register() functions, so
that the leaner tools can use the old gsm_* versions without the need to link
everything (e.g. handover and lchan alloc code).
In some instances, there need to be stubs if to cut off linking "just before
the RSL level" and prevent dependencies from creeping in.
- abis_rsl_rcvmsg(): the only program currently interpreting RSL messages is
osmo-bsc, the utils are merely concerned with OML, if at all.
- paging_flush_bts(): ip.access nanobts models call this when the RSL link is
dropped. Only osmo-bsc actually needs to do anything there.
- on_gsm_ts_init(): the mechanism to trigger timeslot initialization is related
to OML, while this action to take on init would pull in RSL dependencies.
utils/ and ipaccess/ each have a stubs.c file to implement these stubs. Tests
implement stubs inline where required.
From src/utils/, src/ipaccess/ and tests/*/, link in .o files from osmo-bsc/.
In order for this to work, the osmo-bsc subdir must be built before the other
source trees. (An alternative would be to include the .c files as sources, but
that would re-compile them in every source tree. Not a large burden really, but
unless linking .o files gives problems, let's have the quicker build.)
Minor obvious cleanups creep in with this patch, I will not bother to name them
individually now unless code review asks me to.
Rationale:
1) libbsc has been separate to use it for osmo-nitb and osmo-bsc in the old
openbsc.git. This is no longer required, and spreading over libbsc and osmo-bsc
is distracting.
2) Recently, ridiculous linking requirements have made adding new functions
cumbersome, because libbsc has started depending on osmo-bsc/*.c
implementations: on gscon FSM and bssap functions. For example, neither
bs11_config nor ipaccess-config nor bts_test need handover_cfg or BSSMAP
message composition. It makes no sense to link the entire osmo-bsc to it, nor
do we want to keep adding stubs to each linking realm.
