This makes vio_register_driver() get the module owner &amp; name at compile
time like PCI drivers do, and adds a name pointer directly in struct
vio_driver to avoid having to explicitly initialize the embedded
struct device.

The PowerPC legacy iSeries platform is being removed and this code is
no longer selectable.  There is more clean up that can be done, but this
just gets the old code out of the way.

If a Virtual I/O server fails in a dual virtual I/O server multipath
configuration, ensure we delete all remote ports so that path failover
can occur. For a single path configuration, the remote ports will
go into devloss state.

<title>[SCSI] ibmvscsi: Improve CRQ reset reliability</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch fixes an issue seen where an event occurs
which causes the ibmvscsi driver to reset its CRQ. Upon
re-registering its CRQ, it receives H_CLOSED, indicating
the Virtual I/O Server is not yet ready to receive commands.
This resulted in the ibmvscsi driver essentially offlining
the adapter and not recovering. The fix is to re-enable
our interrupt so that when the Virtual I/O server is ready
and sends a CRQ init, we will be able to receive it and
resume initialization of the VSCSI adapter.

<title>SCSI host lock push-down</title>

Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

If a Virtual I/O server is rebooted, the client fibre channel sees a
transport event on its CRQ, which causes it to attempt to reconnect
to the CRQ. For a period of time during the VIOS reboot, the client's
attempts to register the CRQ will return H_CLOSED, indicating the server
side is not currently registered. The ibmvfc driver was not handling
this well and was taking the virtual adapter offline. Fix this by
re-enabling our interrupt and waiting for the event on our CRQ
indicating the server is back, at which point we can reconnect.

This removes the driver's get_host_def_dev_loss_tmo
callback and just has the driver set the dev loss
using the fc class fc_host_dev_loss_tmo macro like is
done for other fc params.

This patch also removes the module dev loss param.
To override the value the fc host sysfs value being
added in the fc class patch can be used instead of the driver
module param.

By default, ibmvfc does not log any async events in order
to avoid flooding the log with them. Improve on this by
logging by default events that are not likely to flood the
log, such as link up/down. Having these events in the log
will improve the ability to debug issues with ibmvfc.
