Hi Chris,

Just wanted to mention that I'm quite impressed with the progress being
made in the last weeks to get an SBP-2 firewire target up with
target-core.

I've looked only briefly at the control plane in sbp_configfs.c so far,
and do not have any objections.  I'll have some more time in the next
weeks to take a closer look at the I/O path, but things look to be on
the right track..

Oh yeah, booting MacOSX off an old Power-book using firewire-sbp-target
is pretty cool and definitely deserves a screenshot + logs in the LIO
wiki!  8-)

P.S: We'd also be happy to add /var/target/fabric/sbp.spec so that sbp
can be used from rtslib scripts and rtsadmin/targetcli if you're
interested.  (jxm CC'ed)
