Request format:


16 bits request opcode
8 bits request flags (0=nothing, 1=require confirm)
8 bits argument count (unused)

At the moment, the request flags field is used only to indicate whether the Lisp client desires a confirmation message when the request is finished processing. If the request returns any values, this counts as the confirmation. Otherwise, an empty confirmation message will be sent.
