FIP is the new standard way to discover Fibre-Channel Forwarders (FCFs)
by sending solicitations and listening for advertisements from FCFs.
It also provides for keep-alives and period advertisements so that both
parties know they have connectivity. If the FCF loses connectivity to
the storage fabric, it can send a Link Reset to inform the E_node.
This version is also compatible with pre-FIP implementations, so no
configured selection between FIP mode and non-FIP mode is required.
We wait a couple seconds after sending the initial solicitation
and then send an old-style FLOGI. If we receive any FIP frames,
we use FIP only mode. If the old FLOGI receives a response,
we disable FIP mode. After every reset or link up, this
determination is repeated.

Removes no where used several inline functions prefixed with skb_*
and be16_to_cpu.
Moves fcoe module specific func prototypes to fcoe.c from libfcoe.h,
moved only need for build.
Adds fcoe module header file fcoe.h and then moves fcoe module
specific fcoe_percpu_s and fcoe_softc to fcoe.h from libfcoe.h.
Moves all defines from fcoe.c to fcoe.h since now fcoe module
has its own header file fcoe.h.
[jejb: removed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(fcoe_fc_crc) which caused a section mismatch]
