While doing various error injection testing, such as cable
pulls and target moves, some issues were observed in handling
these events. This patch improves the way these events are handled
by increasing the delay waiting for the fabric to settle and also
changes the behavior of Link Up to break the CRQ to ensure everything
gets cleaned up properly on the VIOS.

Adds a delay prior to retrying a failed NPIV login. This fixes
a scenario if the backing fibre channel adapter is getting reset
due to an EEH event, NPIV login will fail. Currently, ibmvfc
retries three times very quickly, resets the CRQ and tries one
more time. If the adapter is getting reset due to EEH, this isn't
enough time. This adds a delay prior to retrying a failed NPIV
login and also increments the number of retries.

The virtual fibre channel stack can return a failure response for a command
indicating the port login has been invalidated without sending the client
an async event. Add code to handle this response and initiate a PLOGI.

The CRQs used by the ibmvfc driver are read and written by both
the client and the server. Therefore, we need to mark them volatile
so that we do not cache their contents when handling an interrupt.
This fixes a problem which can surface as occasional command timeouts.
No commands were actually timing out, but due to accessing cached data
for the CRQ in the interrupt handler, the interrupt was not processing
all command completions as it should.

If the ibmvfc driver is in discovery attempting to log into a target
and it encounters an error, the command may get retried one or more
times, depending on the error received. If the retries are
unsuccessful such that the discovery thread gives up on discovery to
that target, the target ends up in a state where, if SCSI core had
previously known about the device, the host will get unblocked but the
host will not be logged into the target, causing any commands sent to
the target to fail. This patch fixes this so that if this occurs, the
target is deleted such that the normal dev_loss processing can occur
instead.

Due to an ambiguity in the VIOS VFC interface specification,
abort/cancel handling is not done correctly and can result in double
completion of commands. In order to cancel all outstanding commands to
a device, a cancel must be sent, followed by an abort task set. After
the responses are received for these commands, there may still be
commands outstanding, in the process of getting flushed back, in which
case, we need to wait for them. This patch removes the assumption that
if the abort and the cancel both complete successfully that the device
queue has been flushed and waits for all the responses to come back.

The ibmvfc log level filtering logic was reversed. The log_level scsi
host parameter should result in more verbose logs when log_level is
larger, not smaller.

This patch adds a new device driver to support the Virtual Fibre Channel
interface on IBM Power based servers. The Virtual I/O Server on IBM Power
servers utilizes N-Port ID Virtualization to export a Virtual Fibre Channel
adapter to the client. This driver is the client device driver.
