[Robert Love]

FIP is the FCoE Initialization Protocol and this patch
adds the protocol ethertype to the kernel's list of
ethertypes.

You can add this value, when you add the protocol implementation
into the upstream sources.

The FIP implementation is upstream, in drivers/scsi/libfcoe.c.
There is a local define in include/scsi/fc/fc_fip.h for ETH_P_FCOE
and I'd rather move it to the propper location.

include/scsi/fc/fc_fip.h:28:#ifndef ETH_P_FIP
include/scsi/fc/fc_fip.h:29:#define ETH_P_FIP	0x8914 /* FIP Ethertype */

One thing to note is that I will later push a patch to linux-scsi
to remove the define in fc_fip.h. It may be preferable to do both
operations in one patch, but I was worried about cross-subsystem
conflicts with other patches to either netdev or fcoe code. I can
refresh this patch to include the fc_fip.h removal and you and James
can decide who takes the patch if that's a better aproach.

Then add that local definition removal to your patch so there is
no mystery about what this is used for.

That works much better, and to avoid merge issues you can send it
via James with my pre-ack:

Will do, thanks.
