The length field in the host config packet is only 16-bit long, so
passing it 0x10000 (64K which is our standard PAGE_SIZE) doesn't
work and result in an empty config from the server.

Now that the iSeries code is gone the backend abstraction
in this driver is no longer necessary, which allows us to
consolidate the driver in one file.

The side effect is that the module name is now ibmvscsi.ko
which matches the driver hotplug name and fixes auto-load
issues.

This fixes an issues seen where a Fabric RSCN event was received
while the link was down, which resulted in repeated attempts to log back
into the fabric, which then failed, resulting in the ibmvfc driver
taking the host offline. Fix this by delaying taking any action
regarding the fabric RSCN until the link comes back up.

If an abort request times out to the virtual fibre channel adapter,
the ibmvfc driver will kick off a reset of the adapter. This
patch ensures we wait for the both the abort request and the
request being aborted to be completed prior to exiting the
eh_abort handler. This fixes a bug where the ibmvfc driver
was erroneously returning success to the eh_abort handler
then later sending back a response to the same command.

This makes vio_register_driver() get the module owner &amp; name at compile

vio_driver to avoid having to explicitly initialize the embedded

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>

<id>201aed678482f247aa96bd8fcd9e960fefd82d59</id>
<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.
