Mauro Carvalho Chehab 4ca9bc225e docs: target: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst 
Convert the TCM docs to ReST format and add them to the
bookset.

This has a mix of userspace-faced and Kernelspace faced
docs. Still, it sounds a better candidate to be added at
the kernel API set of docs.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

=========================================
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
1) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created
into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
2) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
3) 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.
4) 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::
target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git# ls -la drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/

Future TODO items
=================
1) Add more T10 proto_idents
2) Make tcm_mod_dump_fabric_ops() smarter and generate function pointer
defs directly from include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h:struct target_core_fabric_ops
structure members.
