Hi all,

here is the second version of the spec. In the end I took the advice of merging all requestq's into one. The reason for this is that I took a look at the vSCSI device and liked its approach of using SAM 8-byte LUNs directly. While it _is_ complex (and not yet done right by QEMU---will send a patch for that), the scheme is actually quite natural to implement and use, and supporting generic bus/target/LUN topologies is good to have for passthrough, as well.

I also added a few more features from SAM to avoid redefining the structs in the future.

Of course it may be that I'm completely wrong. :) Please comment on the spec!

Paolo
