Hi Chris,

The changelog of the code under drivers/target/sbp makes we wonder
whether this driver has ever had any other users than its original
author. Do you agree with this? If so, do you want to keep this driver
in the kernel tree?

Thanks,

Bart.

Hi Bart,

I think you might be right. I also don't have much time to maintain it
these days and the hardware I had is long dead. It probably should be
removed for everyone's sanity.

Best regards,
Chris

In that case I'd appreciate a patch to remove it.

Thanks!
