Right. Maybe the systemd integration can work a bit nicer there.
I've noticed upstream already ships some (unfinished) systemd units.

Attached you'll find a patch that should apply cleanly on top of the
current fcoe-utils.git. It enables the upstream units (with some
patches) and installs cleanly for me. The ordering /looks/ right,
but without any hardware I really don't know if that will work.

Testing welcome :-)
