    This adds two new attrs used for creating initiator ports and
    binding sessions to hardware.
    
    The session level initiatorname:
    
    Since bnx2i does a scsi_host per host device, we need to add the
    iface initiator port settings on the session, so we can create
    multiple initiator ports (each with different inames) per device/scsi_host.
    
    The current iname reflects that qla4xxx can have one iname per hba, and we are
    allocating a host per session for software. The iname on the host will
    remain so we can export and set the hba level qla4xxx setting.
    
    The ifacename attr:
    
    To bind a session to a some peice of hardware in userspace we maintain
    some mappings, but during boot or iscsid restart (iscsid contains the user
    space part of the driver) we need to be able to figure out which of those
    host mappings abstractions maps to certain sessions. This patch adds
    a ifacename attr, which userspace can set to id the host side of the
    endpoint across pivot_roots and iscsid restarts.
