scsiback_add_translation_entry() makes the connection between a pvSCSI
LUN configured by the xen tools in xenstore and a xen-scsiback target.

The xen tools specify the pvSCSI LUN via <device>:<lun>, with <device>
being either the WWN of the target or an alias of that target specified
in config_fs.

scsiback_add_translation_entry() searches all it's targets until a match
is found and links the found tpg to the device specification of the xen
guest.

I'd be fine with this, but I think I'll need some hints how to achieve
this. I guess I have to specify .fabric_make_nodeacl and
.fabric_drop_nodeacl like e.g. done in drivers/vhost/scsi.c ? Is there
anything else I have to consider?
