This is completely the wrong thing to do.  The driver needs to bind to
the Fibre Channel transport class which provides all of these features
in a large measure through infrastructure shareable with the other FC
drivers.  Any other pieces that are brocade specific rather than FC
general can go in host attributes in the same way as the rest of the FC
drivers do it.
