FIP is the new standard way to discover Fibre-Channel Forwarders (FCFs)
by sending solicitations and listening for advertisements from FCFs.
It also provides for keep-alives and period advertisements so that both
parties know they have connectivity. If the FCF loses connectivity to
the storage fabric, it can send a Link Reset to inform the E_node.
This version is also compatible with pre-FIP implementations, so no
configured selection between FIP mode and non-FIP mode is required.
We wait a couple seconds after sending the initial solicitation
and then send an old-style FLOGI. If we receive any FIP frames,
we use FIP only mode. If the old FLOGI receives a response,
we disable FIP mode. After every reset or link up, this
determination is repeated.

The foce_softc mem was reserved by libfc_host_alloc as well as
by fcoe_host_alloc.
Removes one liner fcoe_host_alloc completely, instead directly calls
libfc_host_alloc to alloc scsi_host with libfc for just one fcoe_softc
as fcoe private data.
Moves libfc_host_alloc to libfc.h since it is a libfc API, placed
lport_priv API adjacent to libfc_host_alloc since this is related
to scsi_host priv data.

Removes no where used several inline functions prefixed with skb_*
and be16_to_cpu.
Moves fcoe module specific func prototypes to fcoe.c from libfcoe.h,
moved only need for build.
Adds fcoe module header file fcoe.h and then moves fcoe module
specific fcoe_percpu_s and fcoe_softc to fcoe.h from libfcoe.h.
Moves all defines from fcoe.c to fcoe.h since now fcoe module
has its own header file fcoe.h.
[jejb: removed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(fcoe_fc_crc) which caused a section mismatch]

Moves these functions as-is from fcoe.c to libfcoe.c, since
they're are common routines:
- fcoe_wwn_from_mac
- fcoe_libfc_config

Just sets up build environment for libfcoe module towards a
libfcoe library for libfc LLDs using FCoE as libfc transport.
Common library code to libfcoe is added in next patch.
Also, updated MODULE_LICENSE from "GPL" string to "GPL v2" for
libfc, libfcoe and fcoe modules to accurately match the licenses.

Renames libfcoe.c to fcoe.c, fcoe.c becomes the only
.c file for fcoe.ko.
Also deleted "$Id: Makefile" from fcoe module Makefle.
