IBM FlashSystem Cinder Driver
The purpose of this blueprint is to add Cinder Volume Driver for IBM FlashSystem running Fibre Channel.
The driver for FlashSystem is targeted for Kilo-1.
* The code is similar in places with storwize_svc because it is using SVC like Storwize, but it is using a small subset of the functionality supported for Storwize.
* Though the code looks similar it is different in some key ways that would make it difficult rework the Storwize driver to support FlashSystem.
* Ultimately, the FlashSystem is a different storage backend that just happens to use SVC, like Storwize.
* In the future, it is likely that the two systems will diverge in their similarity. The development felt, as a result, that it was best to create a separate driver.
