Incomplete thought: to a first approximation it shouldn't really
affect you much at all. Most of the 'driver' changes are things just
put into slightly different structures and called something a bit
different.

The notion then would be to start taking this further and doing more
and more useful things with it.

For example, camlib/camcontrol would then be taught about the
different transport types and could report WWPNs and whatnot for FC
and whatever that ridiculous 511 byte UUID there is for iSCSI.
Everyone I know who uses FreeBSD with Fibre Channel and target mode
has to hack things to get that information.
