I wrote all above to support my at first glance shocking conclusion that
SCSI target subsystem is completely new subsystem of the kernel and it
should live on its own with its own maintainer! This is the same as with the
current interaction between SCSI and block subsystems in the kernel: SCSI
uses block's functionality, but that doesn't mean that block and SCSI are
the same subsystem.
Hello Tomo,

Due to the IET and STGT projects you have a lot of experience with
implementing SCSI target frameworks. What is your opinion about how a
kernel space SCSI target framework should fit in the Linux kernel ?

Bart, what is your role in the SCST project? You don't seem to have
contributed any code to it (going by the SVN logs on sourceforge), and
your questions and suggestions seem to be those of someone not familiar
with the code. If you're not a developer, it might be more helpful for
you to step back and let Vladislav handle this.

Consider Bart as a member of SCST team at the moment responsible for Linux kernel inclusion.
