'Bus reset' is not really applicable to FibreChannel, as
the concept of a bus doesn't apply. Hence all FC LLDD
simulate a 'bus reset' by sending a target reset to each
attached remote port, causing error handling to spill

This patch implements a 'I_T nexus reset' handler,
which attempts to reset the I_T nexus to the remote
port. This way only the affected remote ports are
reset; other ports are left untouched.
Is the I_T nexus reset we are doing in this patch supposed to be the
same one defined in SAM? Was the I_T nexus reset TMF added to SAM at the
same time the target reset one was removed? In SAM 4 and 5 there is no
target reset anymore is there?
I think we should just kill the bus reset use from the FC drivers. Add a
new I_T nexus reset callout to the scsi_host_template or to the
scsi_transport_template. Then have scsi-ml call just either target reset
eh callout or I_T nexus eh reset callout depending on what the target
supports.
To figure out what the target supports could we do a REPORTED SUPPORTED
TASK MANAGEMENT FUNCTION command. If the target supports that command
and reports that the target supports the I_T nexus reset TMF then call
that eh callback, else drop down to older target reset eh callback.
It seems that if we do I_T nexus reset we do not need to also do a
target reset do we?
Hmm. I would rather check the actual LLDDs if they do anything sensible
for target reset.
If not we sure can remove it.

What was the reason for moving this? For the eh case in this patch was
it causing IO to be failed with DID_TRANSPORT_FAILFAST when we wanted it
failed with some other error.
I wanted to ensure that fc_terminate_rport_io() was run when checking
FC_RPORT_FAST_FAIL_TIMEOUT.
Without the move there is a race window between clearing the flag and
calling fc_terminate_rport_io(), which one might trigger by just
checking the flag.
