Based on your requirements, I conclude that the knowledge about the use
of interposer should be passed when creating target, since this is where
the open_table_device function is called.
This means that the 'noexcl' parameter is no longer needed, but will be
replaced with 'interposer'.
The ioctl is no longer needed, the target already knows that it works
through the interposer, and we can attach it already when creating
the target.
I like this logic, and I will implement it.
Thanks.
