The function name and comment got out of sync.

[Karen] Thanks, will fix it.

Does the snic represent the actual card. So if I had a dual ported card,

I would have one snic and then have multple shosts/cxgb3i_hba for each 
port right?

[Karen] Yes.

It seemed strange because cxgb3i_hba_host_add sets the shost's parent to

the pci device, and we get the pci device from the snic->pdev. And so I 
thought we see a pci device per port, so we would also should have a 
snic per port?

[Karen] Each port/cxgb3i_hba has a pointer point back to the
snic/adapter. So one snic per adapter, each snic contains one or more
ports, each port corresponds to one shost.
