As I stated - the patches were cut vs the scsi.git tree - where the most 
recent lpfc is. So I expected merge via the scsi.git tree.

Given how old the scsi/lpfc part was on linux-block as of a little while 
ago, it doesn't surprise me they aren't clean.  I'll cut a version vs 
git.infradead.orig/nvme.git nvme-4.11 and send them privately.

Well, I am using git format-patch to create them. But have to revert to 
a manual mailing request as I haven't been able to get git-send-email 
working past our firewalls.  Sorry.
