  From: Viacheslav Galaktionov <viacheslav.galaktionov@oktetlabs.ru>

In order to differentiate between privileged and unprivileged MAE clients,
add a separate boolean flag to represent a NIC's MAE privilege level.

Allow initializing unprivileged MAE clients by avoiding calls to functions
that can only be called by the admin NIC.
