The lpfc_iocbq data structure has void * pointers that are overloaded to be as many as 8 different data types and the driver translates the void * by casting. This patch removes the void * pointers by declaring the specific types needed by the driver. It also expands the context_un to include more seldom used pointer types to save structure bytes. It also groups the u8 types together to pack the 8 bytes needed. This work allows the lpfc_iocbq data structure to be more strongly typed and keeps it from being allocated from the 512 byte slab.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
