tgt uses scsi_host as I_T nexus. This works for ibmvstgt because it
creates one scsi_host for one initiator. However, other target drivers
don't work like that.
This adds I_T nexus support, which enable one scsi_host to handle
multiple initiators. New scsi_tgt_it_nexus_create/destroy functions
are expected be called transport classes. For example, ibmvstgt
creates an initiator remote port, then the srp transport calls
tgt_it_nexus_create. tgt doesn't manages I_T nexus, instead it tells
tgtd, user-space daemon, to create a new I_T nexus.
On the receiving the response from tgtd, tgt calls
shost->transportt->it_nexus_response. transports should notify a
lld. The srp transport uses it_nexus_response callback in
srp_function_template to do that.

This patch simplify the way to notify LLDs of the command completion
and addresses the following sense buffer problems:
- can't handle both data and sense.
- forces user-space to use aligned sense buffer
tgt copies sense_data from userspace to cmnd->sense_buffer (if
necessary), maps user-space pages (if necessary) and then calls
host->transfer_response (host->transfer_data is removed).

This patches fixes two bugs in the scsi target infrastructure's
user/kernel interface.
- It wrongly assumes that the ring buffer size of the interface (64KB)
is larger than or equal to the system page size. This patch sets the
ring buffer size to PAGE_SIZE if the system page size is larger.
- It uses PAGE_SIZE in the header file exported to userspace. This
patch removes it.

The user-space daemon and tgt kernel module need bi-directional
kernel/user high-performance interface, however, mainline provides no
standard interface like that.
This patch adds shared memory interface between kernel and user spaces
like some other drivers do by using own character device. The
user-space daemon and tgt kernel module creates shared memory via mmap
and use it like ring buffer. poll (kernel to user) and write (user to
kernel) system calls are used for notification.
