I kindly would like to reject this patch. One reason is that target's 
should not have direct access to DMA pools and another reason is that 
the code changes when OCSSD is used over Fabrics. The DMA pool is no 
longer available and data has to be allocated differently. This code 
does not belong inside a target.
