NPIV support is added to the driver. It utilizes the interfaces of
the fc transport for the creation and deletion of vports. Within the
driver, a new Scsi_Host is created for each NPIV instance, and is
paired with a new instance of a FC port. This allows N FC Port
elements to share a single Adapter.

NPIV support is only available via new adapter interface extensions,
termed SLI-3. This interface changes some of the basic behaviors such
as command and response ring element sizes and data structures, as
well as a change in buffer posting. Note: the new firmware extensions
are found only on our mid-range and enterprise 4Gig adapters - so NPIV
support is available only on these newer adapters. The latest firmware
can be downloaded from the Emulex support page.

The driver is reorganized to separate the handling of the adapter from
the handling of the FC port. Adapter handling includes submissions of
command requests, receiving responses, and managing adapter resources.
The FC port includes the discovery engine, login handling, and the
mapping of a Scsi_Host on the "port". Although not a large functional
change, as it touches core structures and functions, resulting in a
large text delta.
