Ah yes the ibm vscsi driver. Well for that part I suppose we will need
a seperate tcm_ibmvscsi fabric module moving forward. This is where
that python script I mentioned when tcm_lpfc, tcm_qla2xxx, tcm_mvsas
where originally posted that would generates a new functioning configfs
skeleton with NOP I/O path handlers from a handful of user input.

Anyways, something like this would really come in handy for making ibm
vscsi go, and plus it makes life easier for me too. I will try to get a
script along this lines coded up in the next week(s) so that we can
finally have a pain-free method of generation for new v4 kernel target
mode modules for new developers.

There will be no limit per customer. ;)
