The FC-BB-6 committee is proposing a new FIP usage model called
VN_port to VN_port mode. It allows VN_ports to discover each other
over a loss-free L2 Ethernet without any FCF or Fibre-channel fabric
services. This is point-to-multipoint. There is also a variant
of this called point-to-point which provides for making sure there
is just one pair of ports operating over the Ethernet fabric.
This patch defines the new message type and subtypes as well as
one new descriptor type used by VN2VN mode.
These are all still at the proposed stage and subject to change.

Customers and certification tests have pointed out that we don't
show up on the switch management software as an initiator.
On some MDS switches 'show fcns database' command shows libfc
initiators as 'fcp' not 'fcp:init' like other initiators.
On others switches, I think the switch gets the features by doing a PRLI,
but it may be only certain models or under certain configurations.
Fix this by registering our FC4 features with the RFF_ID CT request
after local port login and after the RFT_ID.

Export fc_els.h, fc_fs.h, fc_gs.h and fc_ns.h so that they
may be used by applications.
This will be needed for FC Passthrough applications like fcping,
but could be used by other applications.
Fix to include <linux/types.h> to exported files provided by

Register the fc_host symbolic name as the symbolic port name
with the fabric name server.
