Hi James,

	I see that you added this patch to scsi-misc, but we need it in the
v3.2 release because FCoE (using DCB) is broken without it. FYI: DCB is
the technology used to provide lossless Ethernet for FCoE. FCoE is
(almost) always run with DCB. I specified that this was a fix targeting
v3.2 in the covermail that accompanied this patch a month ago. Can you
please push this before Linus releases 3.2?

Thanks, //Rob
