large carry over from code that was used as reference, although I saw it 
happen (when connect capsule was merged with the transport connect 
message).  I'll eliminate it or bring it forward.

no. once again, there are FC-NVME requirements, which if linux nvmet 
isn't supporting I could ignore. And hoping anyone who modifies nvmet 
knows a transport has to change too.  At least there will be a comment 
there indicating why the functionality isn't present.



Ok on the other comments.
