The FCP channel exposes two central interfaces to receive information about
the local FCP-Adapter/-Port: Exchange Port and Exchange Config Data. Using
these commands can negatively impact the adapter if we allow them to be
sent at a very high rate.
The later parts of this patchset will introduce new user-interfaces to
receive more diagnostics from the adapter. To prevent any negative impact
from using those, this patch adds a simple caching-mechanism that will
prevent a malicious/faulty userspace-application from generating an
abnormal high amount of Exchange Port/Config Data traffic.
Relevant diagnostic data that is received via Exchange Config/Port Data is
cached in buffers associated with the corresponding adapter-struct. Each
buffer is associated with a timestamp that signals how old the data is,
and, added via a following patch in this series, lets userspace-interfaces
determine when the data is too old and needs to be updated.
Buffer-updates are made during the normal response path of the
corresponding command. With this patch only the output of the Exchange Port
Data command is captured.

Add the correct SPDX license to a few more files under arch/s390 and
drivers/s390 which have been missed to far.
The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used
instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch removes an interface that was used to manage access control
tables within the HBA. The patch consequently removes the handling
for conditions related to those access control tables, too.
That initiator-based access control feature was only needed until the
introduction of NPIV and was withdrawn with z10 years ago.
It's time to cleanup the corresponding device driver code.

Move the code for managing zfcp_unit devices to the new file
zfcp_unit.c. This is in preparation for the change that zfcp_unit will
only track the LUNs configured via unit_add, other data will be moved
from zfcp_unit to the new struct zfcp_scsi_dev.

zfcp was using three files to deal with sysfs representation
for adapters, ports and units. The consolidation into one file
prevents code-duplication and eases maintainability.

Cleanup the messages used in the zfcp driver: Remove unnecessary debug
and trace message and convert the remaining messages to standard
kernel macros. Remove the zfcp message macros and while updating the
whole flie also update the copyright headers.

zfcp implements a device file to allow Linux guests changing the
Access Control Tables stored in the adapter. The code for the device
file has nothing to do with the other parts of the driver, so move it
to a new file and cleanup the code while doing so.

Debug features (DBFs) els_dbf, cmd_dbf and abt_dbf were removed and
san_dbf, hba_dbf and scsi_dbf were introduced. The erp_dbf did not
change.
The new traces improve debugging of problems with zfcp, scsi-stack,
multipath and hardware in the SAN. san_dbf traces things like ELS and
CT commands, hba_dbf saves HBA specific information of requests, and
scsi_dbf saves FCP and SCSI specific information of requests. Common
to all new DBFs is that they provide a so called structured view. This
significantly improves readability of the traces.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
