[SCSI] FC Transport support for vports based on NPIV
This patch provides support for FC virtual ports based on NPIV.
For information on the interfaces and design, please read the
Documentation/scsi/scsi_fc_transport.txt file enclosed within
the patch.
The RFC was originally posted here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=117226959918393&w=2
Changes from the initial RFC:
- Bug fix: needed a transport_class_unregister() for the vport class
- Create a symlink to the vport in the shost device if it is not the
parent of the vport.
- Made symbolic name writable so it can be set after creation
- Made the temporary fc_vport_identifiers struct private to the
transport.
- Deleted the vport_id field from the vport. I couldn't find any good
use for it (and symname is a good replacement).
- Made the vport_state and vport_last_state "private" attributes.
Added the fc_vport_set_state() helper function to manage state
transitions
- Updated vport_create() to allow a vport to be created in a disabled
state.
- Added INITIALIZING and FAILED vport states
- Added VPCERR_xxx defines for errors to be returned from vport_create()
- Created a Documentation/scsi/scsi_fc_transport.txt file that describes
the interfaces and expected LLDD behaviors.
