+>>>>>>>>>> The TCM v4 fabric module script generator <<<<<<<<<<
+
+Greetings all,
+
+This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
+script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
+that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
+fabric skeleton, by simply using:
+
+ modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
+ mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
+
+This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
+
+ *) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
+ ->make_nodeacl(), ->drop_nodeacl(), ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg()
+ ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
+ *) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
+ using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
+ *) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
+ the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
+ SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+ using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
+ *) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
+ in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
+
+tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
+$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like:
+
+target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target# python tcm_mod_builder.py -p iSCSI -m tcm_nab5000
+tcm_dir: /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../
+Set fabric_mod_name: tcm_nab5000
+Set fabric_mod_dir:
+/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
+Using proto_ident: iSCSI
+Creating fabric_mod_dir:

+Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kbuild..? [yes,no]: yes
+Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kconfig..? [yes,no]: yes
+
+At the end of tcm_mod_builder.py. the script will ask to add the following
+line to drivers/target/Kbuild:
+
+ obj-$(CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000) += tcm_nab5000/
+
+and the same for drivers/target/Kconfig:
+
+ source "drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig"
+
+*) Run 'make menuconfig' and select the new CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000 item:
+
+ <M> TCM_NAB5000 fabric module
+
+*) Build using 'make modules', once completed you will have:
