As far as I know, there are no scst target mode drivers for fusion.  Or are
there? I've not heard of anyone doing that so far.

The MPTSAS drivers you 'll find in the kernel tree are intiator mode only.
We have a driver called mptstm,  supplied to various customers. Its a
target mode driver. I can supply that per request.

Mike Christie, during OLS, mentioned to me that he could later add target
support, as his done for iscsi, qlogic, other vendors, later this year for
fusion. I forgot what the name of the project for that, but its not scst.

WRT, mptspi, Pls advise me on any instability issues.
