Dynamic scsi_debug module

Is it possible to use the scsi_debug module to create more than one
device?  It seems to me that it needs rewritten to have an interface
to dynamically create devices and set their parameters with a tool
like losetup, rather than using module parameters.

I found some references to being able to load certain modules multiple
times using modprobe -o,  but this option does not seem to exist.

The question is how much sense it makes to invest in scsi_debug now that
we have the LIO target in the kernel?

Thanks, I hadn't heard of this.  It looks interesting, though a bit
complicated.

Just FYI, a 'apt-get install targetcli' should set you up with
everything on the user-space side required to run LIO target +
associated fabric drivers.
