looking further... lpfc_poll_timeout() should only be used on an SLI-3

I found this problem through a static analysis tool wroten by myself.
I think the hacker may simulate the hardware to trigger this stack trace.
So, I send the patch to correct the problem.

Can you describe what the system config/software setup is and
specifically what lpfc adapter is being used (dmesg attachment logs are
sufficient, or lspci output).
Best regards,

ok - so the patch is to the tool ? as the code path doesn't actually occur ?
