zfcp has a couple of definitions to describe the FC protocol. Grepping

similar private definitions. It think that it would make sense to
introduce a global header file for FC related definitions that each FC
driver can use.

The attached patch contains some definitons that i found in zfcp and
could be reused by other drivers.

What do others think? Would this be useful?

This is a very good idea.  It might make more sense to have the more or
less complete defintions for the fc protocol in the header.  Robert &
folks have been working on a software fc stack part as the fcoe header
so they might have one to contribute.

I Agree - A common header for standard FC definitions would be a good thing.

That said, we have to be a little lenient on when drivers convert over to
the standard headers as there's likely code change required.
