That being said, I'm glad this is being reworked.  Do you have any
other functionality in mind that this is laying the groundwork for?

I have one feature and a few ideas. I currently have a patch that adds
a fabric selection feature. I add another RW attribute to the ctlr_X
device. If the user writes fabric name to the file libfcoe uses it in
it's FCF selection algorithm. Here's my commit message from that patch.
I can share the patch if people would like to see it too. The current
implementation also allows the user to force the login through a
specific FCF.

My fcoe-utils.git change here also allows the user to drive this fabric 
selection using a new variable in the /etc/fcoe/cfg-ethX files that the 
'fcoe service' uses.
