[PATCH v3 00/16] lpfc: Add NVME Fabrics support

This set does not seem to apply cleanly on nvme-4.11 tree, looks
like patch 6 is failing.

Also, can you send your patchset threaded? It usually does so
when generating the patches with git format-patch, not sure
how this is not the case with your set... It would make my
life a bit easier.

Thanks.
