Well, as the fc transport patches (specifically for remote ports) complete, and the driver finally utilizes them without anything internal, you will have one fc transport parameter to tune - the dev_loss_tmo attribute on the fc_transport/<target> device.  You would need to get the other FC drivers to start using these fc transport interfaces to make everything generic.
