I have a series that adds a "FC Port" and a "FC Fabric" to the FC
Transport.

I haven't looked at this patch, but with my FC Transport additions I
currently have the FCF selection happening in the LLD (libfcoe for SW
FCoE). I was having a lot of problems using a list of FCFs protected
shost_lock in libfcoe receive contexts which is one reason why I kept
the selection logic in the LLD. It may be doable, but it was troublesome
enough that I decided to revisit moving FCF selection policies into the
FC transport layer after the initial implementation.

I'll send out an RFC so you guys can see where I'm at.

Since I haven't looked at this patch closely, so I'm not sure how much
overlap there is.
