This is a set of three patches I've been carrying that had a
dependencies on pieces of the block tree (which went in yesterday).
It's been rebased to go cleanly on top of current git head (and elimnate
some of the merge cruft of creating a postmerge tree).  All of the
patches have been in Linux-next for several weeks.

The two sd/sr patches are just completion of the media events
infrastructure which was in the block tree.  The main chunk is the
addition of the LIO in-kernel target infrastructure which is one of the
two competing target infrastructures which have been out of tree for
several years now.  Thanks to quite a lot of effort (particularly from
Christoph Hellwig) cleaning it up, I think it's ready for mainline
inclusion.  This piece is just the target infrastructure; we'll begin
adding the in-kernel drivers and the migration hooks for STGT (our
original user land target driver) over the next merge window.

The patch is available here:

master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-post-merge-2.6.git

The short changelog is:

Nicholas Bellinger (1):
      target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6
[ ... ]

As anyone can see in the source file drivers/target/target_core_mib.c
this patch adds a significant number of new files to procfs. I thought
that this was considered unacceptable since a long time ? Has anything
changed ?

See also http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/target/target_core_mib.c.

Nothing has changed WRT procfs, and you are correct.

But it's in now.  Submit a patch to fix this particular crapola!  :)
