Fibre Channel over Ethernet Project.

Robert Love (if I understood correctly it is not that Robert Love who wrote "Linux System Programming", "Linux Kernel Development" and "Linux in a Nutshell" :) announced new Intel's project aimed to allow systems with an Ethernet adapter and a Fibre Channel Forwarder to login to a Fibre Channel fabric (the FCF is a "gateway" that bridges the LAN and the SAN). That fabric login was previously reserved exclusively for Fibre Channel HBAs.
System provides both fibre channel and ethernet transport modules, as long as software target and initiator. Although right now code can not be imported into the tree (small BSD code usage, small amount of documentation, ioctl() usage and kernel/userspace interaction, but there are several git trees, so that interested users could setup a testbed.
