This patchset adds NVME support to the lpfc FC driver. It reworks
the core driver for both NVME and SCSI protocol support, then adds the

NVME FC transport lower-level api.
Patches are cut against the linux-nvme for-4.8/drivers branch
Before reviewing the details: what's the plan for merging this as we'll
have dependencies on both the SCSI and the block tree?
Good question. With the first round of lpfc patches, I tried to ensure
we had all the cross-protocol infrastructure in place such that the
driver can have 2 halves that effectively run independently. I'm hoping
it means that I can submit scsi stuff independent from nvme stuff, but
we'll have to see how it goes over time.
I'm open to suggestions on how best to manage the 2 trees - e.g. scsi
stuff goes in scsi tree, and if a dependency then has to be pulled into
block ? nvme stuff only to block. The initial lpfc patch set should
have all the scsi infrastructure pulled into the 4.8 merge, so hopefully
that dependency has been resolved already.

Any recommendations ?
