Loopback Data Test

This test uses the Diagnostic Loopback mailbox command to send and receive data.
Before running this test, the loop in the Fibre Channel port must be up or a loopback
connector must be installed.
The test evaluates the ports (transmit and receive transceivers) on the QLA200
HBA. More specifically, the loopback test transmits and receives (loopback) the data
and checks for the frame CRC, disparity, and length errors.
