This maps too closely to the scsi midlayer names, especially the real 
target devices initiators see - which are not yet in sysfs but there has 
been discussion of in the past. I would prefer that you used 
/sys/class/scst_tgt.  And yes, as part of the class level support in the 
midlayer/kernel, they are generally symlinks to the actual kobject in 
the /sys/devices that the class entity corresponds to.

IMHO - "scsi_tgt" also seems a bit presumptuous to propose if SCST is 
not, in it's entirety, going to be the adapter target interface pulled 
in upstream.  Thus, another reason I prefer the "scst_tgt" name, as it 
makes it very specific to SCST itself, and lessens any co-existence 
conflicts if there are any in the future.
