Could you elaborate more on why you actually want to use the SCSI
subsystem for this.
It looks like what you're proposing is a type of client/server device
pipe for which nbd may well be able to fill all your needs.
I'm not opposed to a simple SCSI tunnel driver, but knowing what you
need beyond what nbd can provide would help me understand why what
you're proposing is really necessary.
