Kiran Patil 3699d92a4d [SCSI] tcm_fc: Adding FC_FC4 provider (tcm_fc) for FCoE target (TCM - target core) support
This is a comprehensive patch for FC-FC4 provider. tcm_fc is a FC-FC4
provider which glues target core (TCM) with Fiber channel library
(libfc). tcm_fc uses existing FC4 provider hooks from Fiber channel
library. This Fiber channel library is used by FCoE (transport - FC
over Ethernet) protocol driver as well.

Combination of modules such as Fiber channel library, tcm_fc, TCM
target core, and FCoE protocol driver enables functional FCoE target.

This patch includes initial commit for tcm_fc plus additional
enhancement, bug fixes.

This tcm_fc module essentially contains 3 entry points such as "prli",
"prlo", "recv".  When process login request (ELS_PRLI) request is
received, Fiber channel library (libfc) module calls passive providers
(FC-FC4, tcm_fc) (if any registered) "prli" function. Likewise when
LOGO request is received, "prlo" function of passive provider is
invoked by libfc.  For all other request (e.g. any read/write, task
management, LUN inquiry commands), "recv" function of passiver
provider is invoked by libfc. Those passive providers "prli, prlo,
recv" functions interact with TCM target core for requested operation.

This module was primarily developed by "Joe Eykholt" and there were
significant contributions from the people listed under signed-off.
