This patch has the SW FCoE driver and the bnx2fc
driver make use of the new fcoe_sysfs API added
earlier in this patch series.

After this patch a fcoe_ctlr_device is allocated with
private data in this order.

+------------------+   +------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr_device |   | fcoe_ctlr_device |
+------------------+   +------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr        |   | fcoe_ctlr        |
+------------------+   +------------------+
| fcoe_interface   |   | bnx2fc_interface |
+------------------+   +------------------+

libfcoe also takes part in this new model since it
discovers and manages fcoe_fcf instances. The memory
allocation is different for FCFs. I didn't want to
impact libfcoe's fcoe_fcf processing, so this patch
creates fcoe_fcf_device instances for each discovered
fcoe_fcf. The two are paired using a (void * priv)
member of the fcoe_ctlr_device. This allows libfcoe
to continue maintaining its list of fcoe_fcf instances
and simply attaches and detaches them from existing
or new fcoe_fcf_device instances.

This patch adds a 'fcoe bus' infrastructure to the kernel
that is driven by changes to libfcoe which allow LLDs to
present FIP (FCoE Initialization Protocol) discovered
entities and their attributes to user space via sysfs.

This patch adds the following APIs-

fcoe_ctlr_device_add
fcoe_ctlr_device_delete
fcoe_fcf_device_add
fcoe_fcf_device_delete

They allow the LLD to expose the FCoE ENode Controller
and any discovered FCFs (Fibre Channel Forwarders, e.g.
FCoE switches) to the user. Each of these new devices
has their own bus_type so that they are grouped together
for easy lookup from a user space application. Each
new class has an attribute_group to expose attributes
for any created instances. The attributes are-

fcoe_ctlr_device
* fcf_dev_loss_tmo
* lesb_link_fail
* lesb_vlink_fail
* lesb_miss_fka
* lesb_symb_err
* lesb_err_block
* lesb_fcs_error

fcoe_fcf_device
* fabric_name
* switch_name
* priority
* selected
* fc_map
* vfid
* mac
* fka_peroid
* fabric_state
* dev_loss_tmo

A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's
is also added by this patch. It is nice to have so that a
link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
"Disconnected" state until either the timer expires or the
FCF is rediscovered and becomes "Connected."

This patch generates a few checkpatch.pl WARNINGS that
I'm not sure what to do about. They're macros modeled
around the FC Transport attribute building macros, which
have the same 'feature' where the caller can ommit a cast
in the argument list and no cast occurs in the code. I'm
not sure how to keep the code condensed while keeping the
macros. Any advice would be appreciated.

<title>[SCSI] fcoe: Allocate fcoe_ctlr with fcoe_interface, not as a member</title>

Currently the fcoe_ctlr associated with an interface is allocated
as a member of struct fcoe_interface. This causes problems when
attempting to use the new fcoe_sysfs APIs which allow us to allocate
the fcoe_interface as private data to the fcoe_ctlr_device instance.
The problem is that libfcoe wants to be able use pointer math to find a
fcoe_ctlr's fcoe_ctlr_device as well as finding a fcoe_ctlr_device's
assocated fcoe_ctlr. To do this we need to allocate the
fcoe_ctlr_device, with private data for the LLD. The private data
contains the fcoe_ctlr and its private data is the fcoe_interface.
This patch only allocates the fcoe_interface with the fcoe_ctlr, the
fcoe_ctlr_device will be added in a later patch, which will complete
the below diagram-

+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr_device |
+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr        |
+------------------+
| fcoe_interface   |
+------------------+

This prep work will allow us to go from a fcoe_ctlr_device instance
to its fcoe_ctlr as well as from a fcoe_ctlr to its fcoe_ctlr_device
once the fcoe_sysfs API is in use (later patches in this series).

isci update for 3.5

1/ Rework remote-node-context (RNC) handling for proper management of
   the silicon state machine in error handling and hot-plug conditions.
   Further details below, suffice to say if the RNC is mismanaged the
   silicon state machines may lock up.

2/ Refactor the initialization code to be reused for suspend/resume support

3/ Miscellaneous bug fixes to address discovery issues and hardware
   compatibility.

RNC rework details from Jeff Skirvin:

In the controller, devices as they appear on a SAS domain (or
direct-attached SATA devices) are represented by memory structures known
as "Remote Node Contexts" (RNCs).  These structures are transferred from
main memory to the controller using a set of register commands; these
commands include setting up the context ("posting"), removing the
context ("invalidating"), and commands to control the scheduling of
commands and connections to that remote device ("suspensions" and
"resumptions").  There is a similar path to control RNC scheduling from
the protocol engine, which interprets the results of command and data
transmission and reception.

In general, the controller chooses among non-suspended RNCs to find one
that has work requiring scheduling the transmission of command and data
frames to a target.  Likewise, when a target tries to return data back
to the initiator, the state of the RNC is used by the controller to
determine how to treat the incoming request. As an example, if the RNC
is in the state "TX/RX Suspended", incoming SSP connection requests from
the target will be rejected by the controller hardware.  When an RNC is
"TX Suspended", it will not be selected by the controller hardware to
start outgoing command or data operations (with certain priority-based
exceptions).

As mentioned above, there are two sources for management of the RNC
states: commands from driver software, and the result of transmission
and reception conditions of commands and data signaled by the controller
hardware.  As an example of the latter, if an outgoing SSP command ends
with a OPEN_REJECT(BAD_DESTINATION) status, the RNC state will
transition to the "TX Suspended" state, and this is signaled by the
controller hardware in the status to the completion of the pending
command as well as signaled in a controller hardware event.  Examples of
the former are included in the patch changelogs.

Driver software is required to suspend the RNC in a "TX/RX Suspended"
condition before any outstanding commands can be terminated.  Failure to
guarantee this can lead to a complete hardware hang condition.  Earlier
versions of the driver software did not guarantee that an RNC was
correctly managed before I/O termination, and so operated in an unsafe
way.

Further, the driver performed unnecessary contortions to preserve the
remote device command state and so was more complicated than it needed
to be.  A simplifying driver assumption is that once an I/O has entered
the error handler path without having completed in the target, the
requirement on the driver is that all use of the sas_task must end.
Beyond that, recovery of operation is dependent on libsas and other
components to reset, rediscover and reconfigure the device before normal
operation can restart.  In the driver, this simplifying assumption meant
that the RNC management could be reduced to entry into the suspended
state, terminating the targeted I/O request, and resuming the RNC as
needed for device-specific management such as an SSP Abort Task or LUN
Reset Management request.

<title>[SCSI] libsas: introduce sas_work to fix sas_drain_work vs sas_queue_work</title>

When requeuing work to a draining workqueue the last work instance may
not be idle, so sas_queue_work() must not touch work-&gt;entry.  Introduce
sas_work with a drain_node list_head to have a private list for
collecting work deferred due to drain collision.

Fixes reports like:
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
  IP: [&lt;ffffffff810410d4&gt;] process_one_work+0x2e/0x338

<title>SCSI: Fix error handling when no ULD is attached</title>

Commit 18a4d0a22ed6 ("[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process
medium access commands") introduced a bug in which we would attempt to
dereference the scsi driver even when the device had no ULD attached.

Ensure that a driver is registered and make the driver accessor function
more resilient to errors during device discovery.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is primarily another round of driver updates (lpfc, bfa, fcoe,
  ipr) plus a new ufshcd driver.  There shouldn't be anything
  controversial in here (The final deletion of scsi proc_ops which
  caused some build breakage has been held over until the next merge
  window to give us more time to stabilise it).

  I'm afraid, with me moving continents at exactly the wrong time,
  anything submitted after the merge window opened has been held over to
  the next merge window."
