Applied to 4.16/scsi-queue, thanks!
Will drop #7 if something breaks.

The bfa drivers are in deep maintenance mode for some time now. We have not had issues reported on them for a while, but it would be good to continue to have them. The series looks ok to me too.

Everytime I look at it I have doubts if it works at all, so I wonder if we need to keep it on life support.
