Initial import of aoe-vblade, an ATA over Ethernet server, or target,
into the Packages Collection.  With thanks to the anonymous person at
EuroBSDcon 2006 in Milano who asked if I was aware of it (I wasn't).

	ATA over Ethernet (AoE) delivers a simple, high performance, low cost
	alternative to iSCSI and FibreChannel for networked block storage by
	eliminating the processing overhead of TCP/IP.

	+ ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) is a thin protocol layer directly on top of
	Ethernet.

	+ ATA disk commands (ie.  read disk sector x, write disk sector y) are
	put directly into standard Ethernet frames using the AoE protocol.
	AoE is a block storage protocol.

	+ AoE is a non-routed protocol, therefore does not require IP or TCP
	protocol layers.  This eliminates unnecessary processing and makes
	network connection to disks simple. It also limits AoE to the local
	network segment.

	The AoE protocol specification can be found at:
