Add FC LLDD loopback driver to test FC host and target transport within
nvme-fabrics
To aid in the development and testing of the lower-level api of the FC
transport, this loopback driver has been created to act as if it were a
FC hba driver supporting both the host interfaces as well as the target
interfaces with the nvme FC transport.

Implements the FC-NVME T11 definition of how nvme fabric capsules are
performed on an FC fabric. Utilizes a lower-layer API to FC host adapters
to send/receive FC-4 LS operations and perform the FCP transactions
necessary to perform and FCP IO request for NVME.
The T11 definitions for FC-4 Link Services are implemented which create
NVMeOF connections. Implements the hooks with nvmet layer to pass NVME
commands to it for processing and posting of data/response base to the
host via the different connections.

This patch implements the RDMA transport for the NVMe over Fabrics target,
which allows exporting NVMe over Fabrics functionality over RDMA fabrics
(Infiniband, RoCE, iWARP).
All NVMe logic is in the generic target and this module just provides a
small glue between it and the generic code in the RDMA subsystem.

This patch implements adds nvme-loop which allows to access local devices
exported as NVMe over Fabrics namespaces. This module can be useful for
easy evaluation, testing and also feature experimentation.
To createa nvme-loop device you need to configure the NVMe target to
export a loop port (see the nvmetcli documentaton for that) and then
connect to it using
nvme connect-all -t loop
which requires the very latest nvme-cli version with Fabrics support.

This patch introduces a implementation of NVMe subsystems,
controllers and discovery service which allows to export
NVMe namespaces across fabrics such as Ethernet, FC etc.
The implementation conforms to the NVMe 1.2.1 specification
and interoperates with NVMe over fabrics host implementations.
Configuration works using configfs, and is best performed using
the nvmetcli tool from http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/nvmetcli.git,
which also has a detailed explanation of the required steps in the
README file.
