Description of problem:
We would like to update the lpfc driver in RHEL 4 to revision 8.0.16.25.

Note: At present our driver is at 8.0.16.24. We have identified
several small bugs which will require a 8.0.16.25 rev. The code
freeze for the 8.0.16.25 rev is 2/8.

Below, I have attached the description of the changes between the
current 8.0.16.18 driver and the 8.0.16.24 driver. A full diff
can be provided.
