Describes the driver and its interface to make it possible for user
programs to back a LIO-exported LUN.
Thanks to Richard W. M. Jones for review, and supplementing this doc
with the first two paragraphs.

Remove a lingering macro that just hid a dereference.

The usage of strict_strtoul() is not preferred, because
strict_strtoul() is obsolete. Thus, kstrtoul() should be
used.

Every fabric driver has to supply a se_tfo->set_fabric_sense_len()
method, just so iSCSI can return an offset of 2. However, every fabric
driver is already allocating a sense buffer and passing it into the
target core, either via transport_init_se_cmd() or target_submit_cmd().
So instead of having iSCSI pass the start of its sense buffer into the
core and then later tell the core to skip the first 2 bytes, it seems
easier for iSCSI just to do the offset of 2 when it passes the sense
buffer into the core. Then we can drop the se_tfo->set_fabric_sense_len()
everywhere, and just add a couple of lines of code to iSCSI to set the
sense data length to the beginning of the buffer right before it sends
it over the network.
(nab: Remove .set_fabric_sense_len usage from tcm_qla2xxx_npiv_ops +
change transport_get_sense_buffer to follow v3.6-rc6 code w/o
->set_fabric_sense_len usage)

There are no callers of se_tfo->get_fabric_sense_len(), so we should
stop having every fabric driver implement it.

This includes:
- remove on _ in "__NAMELEN" in $fabric _make_tport
- target_fabric_configfs_init() returns an error pointer and not NULL
anymore. Consider that.
- replace (!(var_name)) with (!var_name). The extra () are not required
- remove #ifdef MODULE. If the code is builtin it needs an init function
or the code is useless
- put exit/clean functions into __exit

This patch fixes TFO->release_cmd() and removes legacy pack_lun() usage
and new_cmd_failure when generating new TCM fabric skeleton from the
tcm_mod_builder.py script.

This reorganized the headers under include/target into:
- target_core_base.h stays as is with all target-wide data stuctures and defines
- target_core_backend.h contains the whole interface to I/O backends
- target_core_fabric.h contains the whole interface to fabric modules
Except for those only the various configfs macro headers stay around.

This patch converts the tcm_mod_builder.py generation script to
create a new drivers/target/$TCM_FABRIC_MOD/Makefile and update
drivers/target/Makefile, instead of creating+updating a 'Kbuild'
filename.
It also removes the remaining EXTRA_CFLAGS includes from
tcm_mod_build_kbuild(), and converts fabric module generated .c
code to us ""-style includes for $FABRIC_MOD_[base,fabric].h

LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:
High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.
Advanced SCSI feature set:
* Persistent Reservations (PRs)
* Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
* Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
* Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
* Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
* Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)
Multiprotocol target plugins
Storage media independence:
* Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
* No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
* Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.
Standards compliance:
* Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
* Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA
Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
[jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from
Randy Dunlap and Dan Carpenter.]
