Hi,
The ptaches you are using are very old, so I can't remember detail about
them. Only I can say is:
- "Attach" operation is needed in order to attach specfied HBA to 
 guest domain. (To do so, some information should be wriiten to
 xenstore. However, these patches did not contain tool to do it, 
 meybe, because the patches were just for RFC.)
- After that operation, you can see SCSI disks under the HBA as 
 /dev/sd?? on the guest domain.
- If you can successfully see the disks, you can see any information
 about FC transport layer at /sys/class/*.
Best regards,
