The only question I have isn't about the modularization, but about the
fancy new backstore that prompted it, and how to support it. Not that I
expect much work will be needed, but Dan, are you or some other Ceph dev
around if an issue with bs_rbd comes up? :)

Sure.  Maybe I should make sure there's a generic alias included
somewhere with contact info.

That's great to hear! :) I'd say you could add your copyright and contact info to the file's header comment, if you wanted?

I hope it's clear that we support this work, by the way; we plan on
making sure additional packages with bs_rbd.so are available to whoever
needs them, hopefully by petitioning the distros, but if not, building
them ourselves.

Wow. Nice.

BTW you meant additional *tgt* packages with bs_rbd.so, right? Because someone could uncharitably read what you said as saying you're going to distribute just bs_rbd.so separate from tgt, and that wouldn't be a good idea. I just wanted to restate that this change is intended to enable a separate binary subpackaging of bs_rbd.so only. The exports from tgtd are not a "stable API", and the only versions of tgt and bs_rbd.so guaranteed to work together are those built together.
