Now that you mention it, I like this better.  It separates the "lan
session" creation stuff from the "cmd" creation stuff.  Internally
within assemble_ipmi_lan_rq_pkt, we can do the marshalling, and 
assemble_ipmi_lan_rq_pkt returns the number of bytes written into
the buffer.

my_len = assemble_ipmi_lan_rq_pkt (rmcp_hdr, session, msg, &cmd,
cmd_len, lan_pkt, lan_pkt_len);
 
status = ipmi_lan_sendto (sockfd, lan_pkt, my_len, 0, (struct
         sockaddr *)&to_addr,  sizeof (struct sockaddr_in));
