Note: as far as I know currently SCST is the first and only in-kernel
target storage framework that satisfies both criteria (1) and (2) as
defined during the LSF 2010 summit storage track (see also
http://lwn.net/Articles/400589/):

1. Being a drop in replacement for STGT (the current in-kernel target
mode driver).
2. Using a modern sysfs based control and configuration plane.

Regarding criterion (3), that the code was reviewed as clean enough
for inclusion: any feedback is welcome.

Bart.
