Add basic struct iscsit_transport API template to allow iscsi-target for
running with external transport modules using existing iscsi_target_core.h
code.
For all external modules, this calls try_module_get() and module_put()
to obtain + release an external iscsit_transport module reference count.
Also include the iscsi-target symbols necessary in iscsi_transport.h to
allow external transport modules to function.
v3 changes:
- Add iscsit_build_reject export for ISTATE_SEND_REJECT usage
v2 changes:
- Drop unnecessary export of iscsit_get_transport + iscsit_put_transport (roland)
- Add ->iscsit_queue_data_in() to remove extra context switch on RDMA_WRITE
- Add ->iscsit_queue_status() to remove extra context switch on IB_SEND status
- Add ->iscsit_get_dataout() to remove extra context switch on RDMA_READ
- Drop ->iscsit_free_cmd()
- Drop ->iscsit_unmap_cmd()
- Rename iscsit_create_transport() -> iscsit_register_transport() (andy)
- Rename iscsit_destroy_transport() -> iscsit_unregister_transport() (andy)

The Linux-iSCSI.org target module is a full featured in-kernel
software implementation of iSCSI target mode (RFC-3720) for the
current WIP mainline target v4.1 infrastructure code for the v3.1
kernel. More information can be found here:
http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/ISCSI
This includes support for:
* RFC-3720 defined request / response state machines and support for
all defined iSCSI operation codes from Section 10.2.1.2 using libiscsi
include/scsi/iscsi_proto.h PDU definitions
* Target v4.1 compatible control plane using the generic layout in
target_core_fabric_configfs.c and fabric dependent attributes
within /sys/kernel/config/target/iscsi/ subdirectories.
* Target v4.1 compatible iSCSI statistics based on RFC-4544 (iSCSI MIBS)
* Support for IPv6 and IPv4 network portals in M:N mapping to TPGs
* iSCSI Error Recovery Hierarchy support
* Per iSCSI connection RX/TX thread pair scheduling affinity
* crc32c + crc32c_intel SSEv4 instruction offload support using libcrypto
* CHAP Authentication support using libcrypto
* Conversion to use internal SGl allocation with iscsit_alloc_buffs() ->
transport_generic_map_mem_to_cmd()
