New NPIV_ENQUIRY_CHANNEL and NPIV_SETUP_CHANNEL management datagrams (MADs) were defined in a previous patchset. If the client advertises a desire to use channels and the partner VIOS is channel capable then the client must proceed with channel enquiry to determine the maximum number of channels the VIOS is capable of providing, and registering SubCRQs via channel setup with the VIOS immediately following NPIV Login. This handshaking should not be performed for subsequent NPIV Logins unless the CRQ connection has been reset. Implement these two new MADs and issue them following a successful NPIV login where the VIOS has set the SUPPORT_CHANNELS capability bit in the NPIV Login response.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
