oem-ibm: Send the event to host when BIOS attribute changes
IBM has the requirement to send a hot update to host when the
BIOS attribute changes. This patch enables sending an OEM platform
event message to host with the details of the BIOS attributes that
changed on the BMC. Once the host acknowledges the event, then BMC
updates the BaseBiosTable in the bios-config-manager. The host comes
down and reads the changed BIOS attributes by calling the command
GetBIOSAttribute value.
