General information about a SCSI target subsystem you can find in
http://scst.sourceforge.net. More internal details about implementation
in http://scst.sourceforge.net/scst_pg.html. Features which are
implemented in http://scst.sourceforge.net/comparison.html.

Directly on the subject you can find some considerations in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/1/140 (second half of the message).

My opinion is that in ideal the SCSI initiator subsystem should be
drivers/scsi/initiator and the target subsystem - drivers/scsi/target
with shared code in drivers/scsi/. But in reality such big
reorganization is unlikely possible, so it's better to leave SCSI
initiator subsystem in drivers/scsi and the target subsystem - in the
separate directory in drivers/ (drivers/scst for SCST).
