Installing the fcoe-utils package for configurations when running full offload

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

If the fcoe-utils package is installed with full offload we may race in the module load order. The fcoe module loads first prior to the bnx2fc module.
This has for a few customers led to FCOE disconnects with implicit logouts.
