The FCP channel exposes two central interfaces to receive information about the local FCP-Adapter/-Port: Exchange Port and Exchange Config Data. Using these commands can negatively impact the adapter if we allow them to be sent at a very high rate. The later parts of this patchset will introduce new user-interfaces to receive more diagnostics from the adapter. To prevent any negative impact from using those, this patch adds a simple caching-mechanism that will prevent a malicious/faulty userspace-application from generating an abnormal high amount of Exchange Port/Config Data traffic. Relevant diagnostic data that is received via Exchange Config/Port Data is cached in buffers associated with the corresponding adapter-struct. Each buffer is associated with a timestamp that signals how old the data is, and, added via a following patch in this series, lets userspace-interfaces determine when the data is too old and needs to be updated. Buffer-updates are made during the normal response path of the corresponding command. With this patch only the output of the Exchange Port Data command is captured.
