Is support for SCSI targets started to be added in Linux? I mean "SCSI targets" as the ability to export local devices on a SCSI bus. If so, please consider proposed SCSI target mid-level (SCST) living on http://scst.sourceforge.net. In the next few weeks we are going to clean it a bit and prepare the patch, so it could start being part of some testing tree, probably "-mm", although it is stable enough ever for Linus one. BTW, are there any descriptions for current scsi_target support and in which direction it's moving?
