Vport instantiation consists of two parts:
- Creation with the kernel and LLDD. This means all transport and
driver data structures are built up, and device objects created.
This is equivalent to a driver "attach" on an adapter, which is
independent of the adapter's link state.
- Instantiation of the vport on the FC link via ELS traffic, etc.
This is equivalent to a "link up" and successful link initialization.
