If I remember rightly tachyon is one of the FC chipsets where you have
to implement a *lot* of higher level FC handling yourself. As to using
the compaqfc code I wish you luck, but if you do clean it up so it is
understandable and sumbit the cleanups that will in itself be a good
deed for the year 8)

FC is not the place to start. The specifications are complex, frequently
bear no relation to the real world and you have a lot more to handle
than the scsi layer itself will look after.
