Hmmmm, Ok..  Then I will defer to mnc's judgement here about what level
of integration of LIO-Target for protocol and PDU defs for what he
currently handles with Open-iSCSI.  Mike, do you have any more thoughts
here..?

I am pretty sure there are more important items to focus on inside from
this particuarly time-consuming and tedious cleanup, but am happy to
start a smaller cleanup of drivers/target/lio-target/iscsi_protocol.h
for starters..

Also, LIO-Target is still using an internal CRC32C implementation, which
needs to be converted to libcrypto and crc32c.ko.  Which also reminds
me, it would be nice to get the slicing by 8 CRC32C support into
libcrypto, and properly support for the Nehalem's CRC32C instruction
capabilities too.  Any takers..?  ;)

Best,
