Thanks, Eric!

I have one implementation question.  You mention that this will be
implemented as an alternative target within the iSCSI driver.  Why not
make it its own driver?

IIRC, the iSCSI driver is built around exposing local storage.  A
targetd driver would be managing remote storage resources, so it seems
to be a different model.

Thoughts?
