Why do you need the ccflags?  Everything needed should be under
include/target, and if not that needs to be fixed.

We really need to stop spreading that include.  Care to submit a patch
for .40 to move the TASK_ATTR_* defines to scsi/scsi.h?

Does this really need a helper?

Given that the channel is a 32-bit value taking a lock over reading
it doesn't help anything.  If you need any kind of exclusion it needs
to be held over the actual use of it, else it can be dropped.

The oly caller of this does a spin_lock_irq so I assume it's from
process context.  So this one could do the same.  It would be good idea
to check what kind of action is done from irq context at all and
document what data structures / critical sections can be access from
there.

Is this overly useful?

Same comment about reading a variable as above.

Nick, didn't you plan to take the LUN addressing to the core?  After
all it's not a transport specific format.

Can we please kill all these verbose printks?  I know the target core
does them, but that needs to be fixed to.  If you really care for
debugging you can trivially trace it using the function tracer.

Instead of doing a wait_event_interruptible in a kthread you can just
do a schedule() in interruptible context and use wake_up_process to wake
it up.

Shouldn't be needed.

Please fix the indentation.
