Specify controller tid in targets.conf

[Fredrik Åslund <fredrik.aslund@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a way to specify the tid of a target controller in targets.conf?

By default, tid 1 is used by tgt-admin. This means that all instances of 
tgtd at different servers will have the same SCSI ID (and SCSI SN), 
confusing iSCSI initiators (as VMware).

This patch will allow targets.conf to include:
--
<target iqn.2011-06.com.example:storage1>
        backing-store /dev/system/iscsi_storage1
        scsi_id storage1_
        scsi_sn storage1_

        controller_tid 11
</target>

Is there a better way to accomplish this?
