The following series add NPIV support for libfc/libfcoe/fcoe.
It's functioning now, but there are still several areas I need to address
before this will be ready for inclusion.
1) FIP interaction is wrong. When a VN_Port is created it will currently go
through the FIP discovery process. It should skip to sending the encapsulated
FDISC request.
2) Receive demux is still a problem. NPIV breaks the 1:1 association of
N_Port to network device. That means that we can't just use the protocol
handlers to get directly to an fc_lport structure. I don't like the way these
patches currently handle it, potentially walking the vport list for every
received frame. Handling the FLOGI and FDISC responses is an added
difficulty here, because the can't be matched by fabric ID.
