    [SCSI] qla2xxx: Add Fibre Channel Event (FCE) tracing support. · df613b96

    FCE support enables the firmware to record FC extended link
    services and basic link services frames which have been
    transmitted and received by the ISP.  This allows for a limited
    view of the FC traffic through the ISP without using a FC
    analyzer.  This can be useful in situations where a physical
    connection to the FC bus is not possible.
    
    The driver exports this information in two ways -- first, via a
    debugfs node exported for all supported ISPs under:
    
    	<debugfs_mount_point>/qla2xxx/qla2xxx_<host_no>/fce
    
    where a read of the 'fce' file will provide a snapshot of the
    firmware's FCE buffer; and finally, the FCE buffer will be
    extracted during a firmware-dump scenario.
