The kernel may only enable 'libfcoe' module. Some modules like bnx2fc
provides FCoE but only depend on 'libfcoe'. Loading 'fcoe' module may
fail but the kernel do support FCoE.
'libfcoe' will be installed as a dependency when installing block device
drivers if it's required. So no need to install it in installkernel.

The parse-fcoe.sh hook is sourced, and hence must not contain
exit 0 calls. Otherwise, the cmdline sequence will be interupted,
and no error will be reported to systemd. Use return instead.

Images built with the fcoe module will always run the lldpad
service as part of their pre-trigger scripts if the network
is active. This prevents network installations in
environments where, for security reasons, LLDPDU frames
cause a switchport shutdown.
Add a new rd.nofcoe option to cause dracut to skip the
lldpad.sh script and the entire 95-fcoe module.

FCoE can run in Fabric (ie FCF) or VN2VN mode, so we should allowing
to set this parameter from the commandline, too.

Setting and unsetting the IFS variable is tricky. To be on the
safe side we should always reset the IFS variable to its original
value after parsing.

The 'create' sysfs entry has been removed for newer fcoe modules,
so just check if the module directory exists.

To start bnx2fc, we need to run fipvlan only and not dcbtool. DCBX is run
automatically in the hardware, but VLAN discovery needs to be started by
fipvlan.

Note that there are still some patches queued upstream for fcoe-utils to
enable it to work with the new lldpad and to add support to fipvlan to
bring up FCoE connections without requiring fcoemon to run.
The invocations of the various tools as in this patch should be final though,
see the discussion in:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563794
This is the second revision of this patch, which no longer adds /etc/fcoe
to the initrd as that is not needed.
ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
Assign network device name <interface> (ie eth0) to the NIC with MAC <MAC>.
Note that if you use this option you *must* specify an ifname= argument
for all interfaces used in ip= or fcoe= arguments
Supported cmdline formats:
fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb>
fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb>
Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for
future use.
Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase!
Examples:
fcoe=eth0:nodcb
fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb
