I am about to be done testing on my side, will send out the finalized
series shortly. On the user side patch, can you guys split the previous
user patch into two, where the first addresses this new change, and
the other would go with your bnx2fc kernel patches to enable bnx2fc for
fcoe-utils, that would make things cleaner.

Thanks,
yi
