Add support to ibmvscsi for the capabilities MAD. This command gets sent
to the Virtual I/O server prior to login in order to communicate client
capabilities. Additionally it returns information regarding capabilities
that the server supports. The two main capabilities communicated in this
MAD are related to partition migration and client reserve. Client reserve
allows for SCSI-2 reservations to be sent to virtual disks which are backed
by physical LUNs and will result in the reservation being sent to the
physical LUN.

A new mode of error reporting, fast fail, has been added to the VIOS
which allows failover to happen more quickly.
If this new fast fail mode is enabled on the VIOS and the vSCSI client
supports the mode, the VIOS will not return MEDIUM error on path failures,
but rather return VIOSRP_ADAPTER_FAIL in the crq response, which
ibmvscsi will translate to DID_ERROR.
This new mode can be enabled for single path configurations as well,
so it is the new default error reporting mode. A module parameter is
provided to disable this new behavior on the off chance it causes a
problem on some old VIOS version.

Some versions of the Virtual I/O Server on Power
return 0x99 in the non-SCSI error status field as success,
rather than 0. This fixes the ibmvscsi driver to treat this
response as success.

Adds support to the ibmvscsi driver to handle non SCSI error
status. This is needed to support some new VIOS enhancements.

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!
