In addition, I also think that /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_MOD
should show up automatically when I load the module.

vine:/home/fujita# modprobe iscsi_target_mod

Then why do I need to create iscsi directory by hand?

vine:/home/fujita# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/target/iscsi


btw, 'iscsi' needs to renamed to iscsi_tcp or something like that?
