[PATCH 00/29] ibmvfc: Add NVMe-FC support

[Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@linux.ibm.com>]

This patch series adds NVMe-FC protocol support to the ibmvfc driver,
enabling IBM POWER virtual Fibre Channel adapters to handle both SCSI
and NVMe storage traffic through a unified driver architecture.

The implementation leverages the existing multi-queue infrastructure
and extends the driver's protocol handling to support NVMe-FC alongside
traditional SCSI FCP. Key architectural changes include:

- Refactoring the driver into protocol-agnostic core (ibmvfc-core.c)
  and protocol-specific modules (ibmvfc-nvme.c for NVMe-FC)
- Extending the target discovery and management state machine to handle
  NVMe/FC targets with appropriate protocol-specific login sequences
- Implementing the nvme-fc LLDD (Low-Level Device Driver) callbacks for
  queue management, command submission, and abort handling
- Adding support for NVMe-FC specific MAD (Management Adapter Data)
  operations including target discovery, port login, process login,
  and implicit logout/move login
- Implementing NVMe FCP and Link Services (LS) command submission and
  abort paths using the existing sub-CRQ infrastructure

The series is organized to introduce changes incrementally:

Patches 1-8: Infrastructure and refactoring
- Move target lists to protocol-specific channel groups
- Split NVMe support into separate source file
- Add protocol interface definitions and helper functions
- Initialize NVMe channel configuration

Patches 9-16: NVMe/FC MAD operations and target management
- Implement discovery, port login, process login, query target
- Add target allocation based on protocol
- Update state machine for NVMe/FC target processing
- Handle NVMe/FC target deletion

Patches 17-20: Local and remote port registration
- Implement nvme-fc local port registration after fabric login
- Process NVMe/FC rports in work thread
- Extend debug visibility for NVMe components

Patches 21-26: LLDD callback implementation
- Implement queue mapping callbacks
- Add LS and FCP command submission paths
- Implement NVMe FCP and LS abort handling

Patches 27-29: Error handling and debugging
- Fail NVMe requests during transport reset
