Add the 'tag' attribute to FC node ACLs. This is not used by kernel code,

Just copy iscsi's implementation for tcm_fc. A few other fabrics that
support acls also need this, to be submitted separately after the holidays.
Which is a pretty good argument that it should be provided by core code,
and not the frontend drivers.
Support for ACLs is an optional fabric feature, along with
discovery_auth, auth, nps (network portals), and tpgts. We could pull
these into core but then I think we'd be looking at adding feature flags
in struct target_core_fabric_ops, and more callbacks? I haven't really
scoped it out.
Nick, what do you think?
