9fb9d32831 [SCSI] libfc: make fc_rport_priv the primary rport interface.
The rport and discovery modules deal with remote ports
before fc_remote_port_add() can be done, because the
full set of rport identifiers is not known at early stages.

In preparation for splitting the fc_rport/fc_rport_priv allocation,
make fc_rport_priv the primary interface for the remote port and
discovery engines.

The FCP / SCSI layers still deal with fc_rport and
fc_rport_libfc_priv, however.

7414705ea4 libfc: Add runtime debugging with debug_logging module parameter
This patch adds the /sys/module/libfc/parameters/debug_logging
file to sysfs as a module parameter. It accepts an integer
bitmask for logging. Currently it supports:

   bit
LSB 0 = general libfc debugging
    1 = lport debugging
    2 = disc debugging
    3 = rport debugging
    4 = fcp debugging
    5 = EM debugging
    6 = exch/seq debugging
    7 = scsi logging (mostly error handling)

the other bits are not used at this time.

The patch converts all of the libfc source files to use
these new macros and removes the old FC_DBG macro.

42e9a92fe6 [SCSI] libfc: A modular Fibre Channel library
libFC is composed of 4 blocks supported by an exchange manager
and a framing library. The upper 4 layers are fc_lport, fc_disc,
fc_rport and fc_fcp. A LLD that uses libfc could choose to
either use libfc's block, or using the transport template
defined in libfc.h, override one or more blocks with its own
implementation.

The EM (Exchange Manager) manages exhcanges/sequences for all
commands- ELS, CT and FCP.

The framing library frames ELS and CT commands.

The fc_lport block manages the library's representation of the
host's FC enabled ports.

The fc_disc block manages discovery of targets as well as
handling changes that occur in the FC fabric (via. RSCN events).

The fc_rport block manages the library's representation of other
entities in the FC fabric. Currently the library uses this block
for targets, its peer when in point-to-point mode and the
directory server, but can be extended for other entities if
needed.

The fc_fcp block interacts with the scsi-ml and handles all
I/O.
