I thought that I can use this to write IBM vscsi target driver but I
got:

fujita@...e:~/git/linux-next/Documentation/target$ ./tcm_mod_builder.py
Creating fabric_mod_dir: /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tcm_mod_builder.py", line 1039, in <module>
    main()
  File "./tcm_mod_builder.py", line 1028, in main
    tcm_mod_create_module_subdir()
  File "./tcm_mod_builder.py", line 38, in tcm_mod_create_module_subdir
    ret = os.mkdir(fabric_mod_dir)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/drivers/target/tcm_nab5000'


And looks like tcm_dir isn't configurable.
