Add a maximum response length for FCP RSPNS IUs.
Clarify some of the FC option words for setting parameters
and try and disable automatic PRLI when in target mode- this
should correct some cases of N-port topologies with 23XX cards
where we put out an illegal PRLI (in target mode only we're
not supposed to put out a PRLI).
firmware loading bugs.
Target mode support has received some serious attention to make it
more usable and stable.
Some backward compatible additions to CAM have been made that make
target mode async events easier to deal with have also been put
into place.
Further refinement and better support for NP-IV (N-port Virtualization)
is now in place.
Code for release prior to RELENG_7 has been stripped away for code clarity.

gone device timers and zombie state entries. There are tunables
that can be used to select a number of parameters.
loop_down_limit - how long to wait for loop to come back up before
declaring
all devices dead (default 300 seconds)
gone_device_time- how long to wait for a device that has appeared
to leave the loop or fabric to reappear (default 30 seconds)
Internal tunables include (which should be externalized):
quick_boot_time- how long to wait when booting for loop to come up
change_is_bad- whether or not to accept devices with the same
WWNN/WWPN that reappear at a different PortID as being the 'same'
device.
Keen students of some of the subtle issues here will ask how
one can keep devices from being re-accepted at all (the answer
is to set a gone_device_time to zero- that effectively would
be the same thing).
