This patch series adds a sysfs layer to libfcoe. It adds
a sysfs instance for FIP controllers (a SW entity) and
discovered Fibre Channel Forwarders (FCFs), which are
simply FCoE switches.
The new sysfs code is used by any driver that currently
uses libfcoe, namely fcoe.ko and bnx2fc_fcoe.ko. Any other
FCoE capable device that wishes to use the high-level APIs
defined in fcoe_syfs.h may, without having to use the
the protocol processing portions of libfcoe.

This series still needs validation and I'm working through
a remaining issue or two. It is stable though using ixgbe.
This RFC is to solicit comments and to notify Broadcom that
I am making changes to their driver. I will post this series
to linux-scsi@vger when it has passed validation.
Robert, thanks for making these changes to bnx2fc as well. Changes look
good to me. I did some basic tests, and seem to work fine, except that a
couple of functions are missing in bnx2fc - get_fcoe_fcf_vlan_id &
get_fcoe_ctlr_mode. For vlan_id, bnx2fc needs a similar function to
fcoe_fcf_get_vlan_id(). For get_fcoe_ctlr_mode, the common function
fcoe_ctlr_get_fip_mode() can be used directly.
Thanks,
Bhanu
