[PATCH 08/14] aoe: disallow unsupported AoE minor addresses

From: Ed Cashin
Date: Thu Aug 23 2012 - 14:44:41 EST


A guard is inserted to prevent AoE minor addresses (slot addresses)
higher than 15 to be used, as they are not yet supported by the
driver.

There is a change coming that will allow the aoe driver to overcome
this limit by using system device minor numbers dynamically, but until
then, this guard prevents unexpected targets from being used by the
driver when AoE targets with high minor numbers are on the AoE
network.
